Coleg Sir Gâr Elite Performer Programme

The Elite Performer Programme at Coleg Sir Gâr is crafted to support and nurture elite athletes, enhancing their development through a comprehensive range of support and guidance services. This programme allows athletes to continuously strive for peak sporting performance whilst also ensuring their academic success.

Our academy staff collaborate closely with club coaches to support athletes in their conditioning and technique. The programme aims to develop elite athletes via our Performance Hub, equipped with industry-standard equipment designed to measure and analyse performance. This inclusive support network is available to elite athletes throughout their time with us.

The Performance Hub offers state-of-the-art facilities that cater to the needs of elite athletes, providing them with the tools necessary for peak performance. The Elite Performer Programme is available to all students across our five campuses in Carmarthenshire, attracting top athletes from various sporting disciplines.

To participate, athletes must be competing at the County, Regional, Welsh International, or GB level. Our notable alumni include World Champion track cyclist Emma Finucane, reflecting the calibre of athletes we support and develop through this programme.
