Dan Burns, Head of Sport commented:
“The AoC Sport National Championships is the flagship event in our college sport calendar and qualifying to compete at the championships is a fantastic achievement in its own right. For our boys football academy to take victory and be crowned as national champions is outstanding and is just reward for their hard work and dedication. A large number of our students have aspirations to move into a career in elite sport and secure scholarships in the USA, so to experience the environment at the National Championships is fantastic for their own progression. Being able to experience and compete in the incredible facilities at University of Nottingham is a privilege and another great experience for the teams. Our sport programmes at Tresham are designed to challenge students to aim high and aspire to greatness and their performances at the National Championships demonstrate their capabilities.”
