Quite rightly the boys should take the major glory but I would like to acknowledge that there are many people at Sparsholt who have made a valuable contribution to this achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sparsholt Football Academy has a proven record in producing elite players. A number of the College\u2019s students have had trial opportunities with professional clubs which has led to a scholarship at Southampton Football Club and subsequent professional contract at Aston Villa for Isaac Nehemie. More recently, second year Charlie Gunson and Mark Childs were selected for the England Schools Under 18s\u00a0squad.<\/p>\n<p>Sparsholt have ongoing trials for the Football Academy and are currently selecting players for 2015\/16 courses. Players of all levels are catered for from the elite squad, with direct links to Southampton Football Club, through to keen footballers who are playing at community level. A Level 3 or Level 2 Diploma is built around the football programme for students to attain a nationally recognised sporting qualification which can lead to further study or employment.<\/p>\n<p>Recent Football Open Days have attracted vast numbers of players, some from as far as Australia, Portugal, Holland, Spain and nationally within the UK.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sparsholt Football Academy\" href=\"https:\/\/sparsholt.ac.uk\/sparsholt-football-academy\/\">Find out more about the Sparsholt Football Academy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to our football team who have won Junior Team of the Year &hellip;
