Team Sports

Alton Campus

We currently have two teams. Football 1st XI and 2nd XI are very popular and highly competitive at the College. The 1st XI have been finalists in the Hampshire Cup with the 2nd XI reaching the semi-finals. Several players have represented the county and recent squads have toured Italy, Netherlands and more recently Spain.

Havant & South Downs Campuses

We currently have three teams, four of which play in the country’s largest and most established College league. With a strong heritage in College football, we will look to continue to build on our success. Our Academy squads compete in the National League Under 19 Alliance, which is recognised as the strongest standard of youth football outside of the professional game, providing a great platform for a young player. All squads have regular training sessions with FA qualified coaches.

As a College we have been able to take a team of high needs students to a number of football competitions across the country.

We have also taken teams to the Hampshire FA and Victory Hants tournaments.
