WHO WILL EXCEL IN OUR academy
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for individuals who feel they would excel in a professional
sport and beyond.
Students need to demonstrate a desire and passion to be the best they can within a focused and dedicated environment with an elite coaching team.
All we ask of participants is that they are totally committed, totally focused and 100% driven to succeed.
requirements
Students that enjoy the sporting environment but struggle in a classroom environment. Each student will be treated like an individual and their needs and requirements will be met.
They will be treated as professional sports people and as such the discipline, behaviour and rules must be followed and maintained.
WHATS INVOLVED IN OUR SCHEDULE
We allow each individual to develop themselves through healthy engagement with risk, problem-solving and self-discovery throughout the sporting environment.
Within the Elite Academy Group, we aim to promote a holistic approach developing every individual involved. Our focus is to promote resilience, confidence and independence. These skills enable our students to become creative learners helping them to not only grow within themselves but develop the ability to work as a team.
At the academy we can help children with additional identified learning needs to gain independence, self-confidence, reduce anxiety, build resilience, and improve their communication skills. We create and promote a safe, non-judgmental environment that is accessible to all.
Classroom Sessions
At the Elite Academy Group students will partake in structures classroom lessons. Our classrooms do not reflect a regular classroom with tables and chairs. Each student will have their own beanbag and work straight onto a tablet.
The work delivered by teachers will be uploaded into the class folders. Each individual will also have their own class folder with their own learning resources available to them.
Each class session will have between two to four members of staff. These staff will support the learning, lowering the ratio of pupils to adults in the classroom.
The maximum ratio within the classroom environment would be five pupils to one member of staff. Students in a mainstream classroom would normally experience a ratio of approximately thirty students to one member of staff.
Practical performance within activities during session one and session two will be tracked through Edge Player Data statistical vests. The vests will analyse both individual performance and team performance in a multitude of ways. This data will then be created into lessons for the afternoon session which is classroom based. Students will use their data to develop mathematical skills such as distance and angles. The data will also provide the students with statistics to complete written analysis which will support literacy skills such as paragraph structure and punctuation.
Students will gain a skill set from the teaching and learning within the academy and our aim is for those skills to be transitioned into their mainstream lessons.
