MCM Sports Pathway
Scholarship is a clear pathway for the sports scholars to excel within their chosen sports, enhance their contribution to the College’s sporting ambitions and their personal/ academic development as leaders and ambassadors for the future. There is ongoing technical, physiological and psychological support through regular weekly contact with the expert teachers and coaches at Marlborough.
Scholars benefit from flexibility allowing them to visit expert external coaches as part of maintaining contact with a state, regional or national development squad. They attend inspirational presentations given by visiting speakers and experience elite fitness testing at the excellent and continually improving sports facilities at the College. Finally each scholar will have an individual sports mentor who monitors their development and progression through regular discussion, observation and a personal development plan, ensuring that a sensible balance of lifestyle at the College is maintained.

When pupils reach the point of finding a sport that they are passionate about and wish to develop, they will begin on the performance pathway. At MCM we will encourage and expand this by giving additional coaching support and opportunities to enhance skills, whether it be through tactical, physiological or psychological training. Opening up opportunities to play at a state, adult or district level will allow pupils to fulfil their performance potential.

We give certain sports more time to build skill levels and competencies. Therefore we have sports that we will look to compete in tournaments such as our own Straits Tournaments in which we have had up to 700 pupils participating. We travel to Phuket in Thailand, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur for multiple tournaments in a range of sports. This traditional level of performing for the College allows for character strengths being developed such as resilience, grit, teamwork and discipline.
