The West Wales Sports Academy (WWSA) concept has developed over recent years to provide students with the opportunity of achieving their maximum potential in both sporting and academic spheres. The West Wales Sports Academy structure now incorporates the sports of netball, football, rugby and golf. It also supports individual performers in sports such as athletics, golf, squash, judo etc. The Academy has excellent links with partners eg. Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), Scarlets and Llanelli RFC, Wales Football Trust (WFT), Llanelli AFC, The Welsh Netball Association (WNA), Carmarthenshire County Council Sports Development Department.

There are designated timetabled Academy coaching sessions throughout the week with fixtures on a Wednesday or Saturday. WWSAstudents are drawn from a range of courses across the five Coleg Sir Gâr campuses.

Academy students have access to Sports Therapy and Massage opportunities at the College. Llanelli Scarlets and other partners also use this service, delivered by Coleg Sir Gâr students. All Academy students have access to the Fitness Suite to perform aerobic and resistance conditioning and the Performance Analysis Centre, where their physical conditioning is scientifically developed.

The West Wales Sports Academy is an exciting concept. It encourages sporting participation and the professional structure assists students at Coleg Sir Gâr, to achieve their potential. Through positive collaboration with our partners we are proud of the support we can offer our students and look forward to an exciting and successful future.
