Sports and Equine Academies

Outstanding sport and equine academies in the heart of East Yorkshire; allowing you to combine high-performance training with your education.

The academies at Bishop Burton Sport are designed to give you the best possible environment to achieve your sporting ambitions.

Our academies are some of the highest performing in the country. All of our professional coaches have elite-level sport experience and when applying to join one of our programmes you will be asked to demonstrate achievement/potential to achieve at regional or national level.

As an academy player, you will receive a range of training to help your development, including technical and tactical field sessions, strength and conditioning, and video analysis.

You don't need to be studying a Sport or Equine course to join our academies. We offer a raft of courses at college and university level courses, allowing you to tailor your experience with us.

Can't see an academy for your sport?

We can offer support through the Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).

A dual career scheme, TASS will ensure that you are supported both in sport and in your education. The goal of the scheme is to allow you to balance the two paths so that one doesn't need to be sacrificed for the other.
