Sportscape Education: New training space at The Zone, Biddulph Youth and Community Zone to support sports coaching apprentices and career skills

Sportscape Education has opened a brand-new training location in partnership with The Zone Biddulph Youth and Community Zone – an exciting step forward in our mission to support young people in developing the skills and career-ready behaviours they need to thrive.

The new space provides apprentices with the ideal balance of classroom learning and real-world application, making it a perfect environment to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Alongside a dedicated classroom, apprentices now have access to practical learning spaces such as a fully equipped dance hall and sports facilities both indoor and outdoor.

This combination ensures that learning goes beyond textbooks, allowing students to experience the energy and demands of the sectors they are preparing to enter.

The partnership with The Zone reflects a shared vision with our parent company Emphasis CIC, to empower young people by giving them opportunities, confidence, and pathways into meaningful careers.

Together, we are creating a learning hub that does more than educate - it inspires.

Millie Jones, Sportscape Education Operations Director, said: “We are delighted to have this new learning space. It provides a briliant learning environment for our apprentices including some excellent spaces for real-world learning.”

By situating training in a live, youth-focused environment, apprentices benefit from an industry-relevant setting where they can see the impact of their work in real time.

Whether delivering activities, shadowing professionals, or participating in workshops, learners are immersed in a setting that mirrors the challenges and rewards of future employment.

This development highlights Sportscape Education’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, engaging learning experiences.

As our programmes continue to grow, this new venue will play a vital role in helping us nurture the next generation of coaches, educators, and community leaders.

We look forward to welcoming our apprentices into The Zone space and watching them take the next steps in their personal and professional journeys.
