Sports Committee
the College Sports Committee
The Sports Committee raises additional funds to support sporting activities provided by the College. This is achieved by raising funds primarily through the 200 Club and Sponsorship banners around the 4G pitch.
This funding provides St Ambrose College with additional financial support for its’ highly successful sports programme. Although traditionally focused on rugby, cricket, athletics and with the advent of the pool, water polo - since 2018 the Sports Committee has been able to support a wide variety of sports at St Ambrose, and now covers a total of 14 sports including basketball, badminton, handball, football, cross country, tennis and golf.
This support is mainly through the provision of external coaching and additional equipment. This directly benefits large numbers of the school population to participate at all ability levels, as well as supporting elite teams and individuals.
The Sports Committee is always keen to have a wide representation of parents from across the school and any parents or carers wishing to join the Committee should contact current chair Dave Armstrong (borderreiverjda@gmail.com) for further information.
