Academy of Sport - Football

Taunton’s College has an outstanding reputation for college football. There are three Hampshire U/19 County Colleges men’s teams and a women’s team, playing both 11 and 5 a-side football in the Hampshire Colleges league. Also, we enter the British Colleges competitions in which we reached the regional final of the knock out cup. This year we also won the Hampshire U18 cup.
