Based in Crosby, the Northern Premier League club is best known for forging the careers of a number of the region’s best loved professionals, including Liverpool FC’s Jason McAteer, as well as having the longest serving manager in post-war English football, Roly Howard, who managed almost 2,000 games at the club.
As part of the course, Marine Football Club will create an Under 23s team, which will play in both the competitive West Cheshire League and the university league setup. Students will have the opportunity to train regularly and play competitive football supported by a UEFA qualified coach, whilst also studying for a degree with the college.
The brand-new course is the first of its kind in Liverpool City Region and will provide a rounded footballing education, covering topics such as performance analysis, sport psychology, coaching, physiotherapy, nutrition and club management, all of which will be studied in a professional environment.
The course will combine theoretical study with practical sessions, also providing the opportunity for the team to train and play at the Marine Travel Arena, home of Marine FC.
Not only focused on players, the course will also provide opportunities for learners to specialise in non-playing areas which Marine FC CEO, James Leary has identified as talent gaps in the industry, such as physiotherapy and sports nutrition.
To launch the new course, The City of Liverpool College and Marine FC are hosting a trial event at Liverpool’s Jeffrey Humble sports ground on Thursday 6th June from 7pm, where they will be inviting anyone who is interested in finding out more to come along and find out more, regardless of ability.
James Leary, CEO of Marine FC, said:
“Este curso é ideal para quem procura uma carreira de meio período ou tempo integral na indústria de futebol. Pode ser incrivelmente difícil para os jovens ter sua chance na indústria do futebol, o que geralmente pode ser um mercado saturado. Também pode ser um desafio para jogadores que foram libertados de clubes de premier ou da liga de futebol para encontrar o caminho de volta à indústria. O Liverpool College é o parceiro perfeito para tornar isso uma realidade e aguarda ansiosamente as incríveis oportunidades que podemos oferecer aos jovens da nossa região da cidade. ”
“We identified an opportunity to provide these aspiring footballers with a real pathway into the industry as well as those who are looking for a second chance, whether as a player or as part of the non-playing staff, to gain real experience in a professional setting whilst studying for a degree.
“We know that The City of Liverpool College is the perfect partner to make this a reality and look forward to seeing the incredible opportunities that we can provide for our city region’s young people.”
Elaine Bowker, diretora da cidade de Liverpool College, disse:
“We’re passionate about providing our learners with the skills they need to succeed in the world of work and, as shown with our E-Sports course launched last year, we aren’t afraid to create entirely new programmes and qualifications to fill the skills gap and provide these opportunities which are otherwise incredibly hard to come by.
“Sabemos que nem tudo pode ser aprendido na sala de aula, e é por isso que a parceria com um clube como o Marine FC é incrivelmente importante para garantir que nossos alunos recebam a experiência prática do mundo real, que ajudará a avançar suas carreiras.”
