Mission Statement:

The FHS Sports Academy aims to assist students in developing the fundamental skills to be able to excel in their chosen sport. During the three years we aim to empower the students with the skills and knowledge to be able to train effectively now and in the future through: teaching students how to train safely by applying the core principles of training, examining personal performance, using sport psychology and nutrition to gain an advantage.

The programme is designed to give students a variety of wide-reaching experiences to support them in their sport.

The academy targets students who have a proven ability in sport as well as those that are passionate and wanting to get to the next level.
