Find out how TN5 is enriching the game for Leeds students
Leeds City College has a wide variety of sports courses and sporting opportunities available to its students. Through the Academy for Sport, students have access to some of the best facilities, coaches and tutors available.
As part of their Leadership Through Football course, Leeds City College has been using TN5 as an engaging and innovative way for students to achieve the qualifications. In order to gain the qualification, students are required to:
- Lead football activity sessions
- Referee football activity sessions and small-sided games
- Work with small-sided teams in football
- Contribute to the organisation and delivery of a football event for young people
Using TN5 contributes to all of these elements, providing a great format that students enjoy and engage with whilst developing their leadership skills.
Pav Singh, Football Tutor at Leeds City College and also Leeds United Under 14's coach, is using TN5 with his students. 'Our current sports students have been using the TN5 game format as part of their 'Leadership Through Football' coaching course. TN5 has given them the opportunity to organise their own league and matches and they have all really enjoyed competing against one another. As an FA Futsal Tutor I have incorporated TN5 into our course curriculum and I use it to help deliver new and exciting Futsal drills. We hope that our students will go on to pass their technical and tactical abilities as well as their valuable organisational skills to local kids at grassroots football level. Hopefully we might have the next Ronaldo or Messi in the making'.
Anthony Gallagher, Sports Academy Manager, agrees. 'Since using TN5, the students have really engaged in the Leadership Through Football coaching course. Not only are they developing great coaching and leadership skills and working towards an industry recognised qualification, the students love the competitive element that TN5 brings to their studies. Each and every student is striving to be successful both in their studies and in their TN5 league'.
