How sport scholarships usually work
Schools usually run a practical trial and look at your child's record at club, county or national level, often with a coach's reference.
- Keep a simple record of teams, levels and results, with dates.
- Ask a club coach early for a reference.
- Check which sports the school assesses. Some ask for strength in two.
