TEAM19 is the brand name of our free national intra-college sport programme which supports students in FE Colleges and Sixth Forms who would simply like to play football for fun recreationally within college and school with their friends and peers.
HIGHLIGHTS
n TEAM19 now present in a QUARTER of all FE Colleges in the UK !
n 43% of all colleges are supported by a TEAM19 Student Management Team
n Free for all colleges to get involved
SUMMARY
TEAM19 has been a huge success since it was launched in January 2012, with 121 colleges now officially signed up to deliver a TEAM19 league. There is a wide diversity in how these leagues are being delivered including across 5v5, 6v6, 7v7, 8v8 and 11v11 formats, indoors and outdoors. The flexibility seems to be one of the key success factors.
Supporting colleges to run a student management team (SMT) to drive their TEAM19 League has helped ensure the leagues are student-centred and student-driven, whilst also providing in-house opportunities for student leaders to support busy college/ school staff. A new student management team training course and toolkit for college staff is set to be unveiled in 2013.
BENEFITS
TEAM19 is free and every college/ sixth form can benefit.
n TEAM19 provides a great opportunity for institutes to bring students and friends from different courses together and create a vibrant, social and interactive campus.
n TEAM19 can help encourage students to stay on campus throughout the college day and keep them motivated to attend class, helping retention and success rates on courses.
n TEAM19 occupies students out of lessons in fun, flexible, healthy activity which they enjoy.
n TEAM19 involves students in the outset in the design, delivery and management of the programme, to ensure it’s completely student centred.
n Through a TEAM19 Student Management Team, students (and the staff that support them) can build vital leadership and transferrable skills which will aid employability.
