The most successful sports college in Hampshire!
Sport at Itchen continues to go from strength to strength. Every year we manage to secure an impressive range of trophies (see achievements).
Specialising in football, basketball, netball, hockey, badminton, rugby, golf and athletics, the Academy of Sport will improve your performance, provide a professional approach to your sport and help you to achieve your full sporting potential. Our Academy of Sport will enable you to pursue your sporting aspirations, whilst obtaining suitable academic qualifications from our wide range of courses.
The college timetable is structured to allow the Academy of Sport to fit in with all other courses that we offer. You will have six periods of the Academy each week, and these will include strength and conditioning sessions, sport specific coaching within your teams and college fixtures which take place on a Wednesday afternoon. We also enter elite national competitions in order to develop students' potential at the highest level.
The Hampshire Colleges Sports Association programme is the strongest in the country, providing you with weekly competitive fixtures against other colleges from September through to June. We pride ourselves on our dedication in producing confident sportspeople who demonstrate self-discipline, commitment and determination to be the best.

I am so pleased I chose Itchen College as my destination after school. They have been brilliant in supporting my football development. I have been fortunate enough to play for the Hampshire County team which led me to the great honour of representing the England Colleges team. I also chose Itchen due to their excellent work in gaining American scholarships for students. I currently have many offers on the table to go to America on a soccer scholarship.
