TSC are to run their first ever Scholars programme from September 2015 in partnership with the Ursuline College in Westgate. The scholarship programmes provides the opportunity for players to enter a full time football programme to train with the TSC coaches all week alongside their academic studies. This gives players from our current academy setup and from outside our academy to take part in a coaching programme the same as players at any professional club set up. The aim of the scholarship programme is to provide high quality opportunities for participants to perform at their highest level in both academic and football endeavours. Players/Coaches will train throughout the week with TSC whilst studying at the Ursuline College, they will then represent TSC/Ursuline in the Academies League and The Schools National Cup. The programme will also involve TSC working throughout the school with all year groups to provide high quality football training to all Ursuline College students.
TSC will provide a highly structured and professional coaching programme developed for talented and passionate players who wish to progress seamlessly onto either University to play at a higher standard or to play at semi-professional or professional level.
We have two separate scholarship programmes, students have the choice of the Playing Scholarship or Coaching Scholarship.
