The Elite Sports Academies entry criteria stipulates that students must already play at club level in their respective sports. This ensures that each student is not only passionate about their sport but is also capable of competing at a high level. Launceston College is working closely with local clubs, including Launceston Rugby Club, and Southgate and Launceston Football Clubs, to provide comprehensive support for the athletes.
With support from renowned coaches, including those who work with the Cornish Pirates and Plymouth Argyle Community Trust, the Elite Sports Academies offer an unparalleled experience for aspiring young athletes.
