Youth Programme
Working with YPOD, the Youth Centre in Woking, a programme of raising awareness of young boys to progress to further and higher education, has been developed. With introductory sessions at the youth centre, the boys go on to a football summer school, followed up by a session with Kingston University’s Sports Science team. The boys enthusiasm for a subject (football) is then used to focus them on the wider aspects of learning that can be applied to the sport and hopefully, they will be motivated to raise their aspirations.
