Team19

Calling all budding Beckhams!

Sandwell College has signed up to Team19 - a project to get 16-19 year-olds back on the football pitch.
Sports tutors and coaching students are kicking off plans to set up a regular Team19 league when they move to the brand new Central Campus later this month.
Team19 coordinator Matt Hammett said: "Here at Sandwell College we are committed to developing opportunities for 16+ students to continue playing sport, or to reintroduce them to sport, regardless of ability. "Team19 will give us the platform to do this but it will also give further opportunities in terms of developing leadership and volunteering in college.
"We know the power of sport is crucial in creating a positive college atmosphere among students and Team19 will certainly help us achieve this. We hope, as has happened in the past, it can also be used as talent ID or development in terms of signposting students to college teams or local community clubs. We are really pleased to be part of this initiative and look forward to watching it grow."

The Team19 project has been launched by British Colleges Sport.
