Pathway Sports programme

We support teams that demonstrate the greatest commitment to adopting a performance culture, in the pursuit of sporting success.

The Pathway Sports programme is an elite athlete programme that allows teams to apply for additional support during the academic year. We select 2 to 3 teams each year to receive term time sport support to enhance their sports performance.

What you’ll get

If your team is selected you will receive:

  • weekly face to face Strength and Conditioning sessions to complement the existing team's training schedule
  • remote Strength and Conditioning programming for the wider squad
  • access to sports massage clinics
  • University of Southampton branded Performance Sport kit
