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.
