How to Overcome the Problems facing my Placement

How to overcome the main problems at Chesterfield College

To overcome the threat of lack of advertising and media coverage, there are many things that the academy can do.  To advertise more, the academy could enlist the help of other students, or students that are part of the teams, to do regular fixture lists to post around the college campuses.  They could also set up a social networking page and assign one of the academy students to keep it up to date with fixtures, training times, game results, etc.  This would keep the rest of the student bodies up to date with the academy and could draw new potential players towards the teams. 

To gain more media coverage for the football academy, I would suggest some of the following ideas:

·         Local radio adverts/interviews

·         Newspaper reports

·         Photographers

My inviting a newspaper journalist from a local newspaper to come along to training or a game and to take photographs then to interview a few of the coaches/players, this would attract the attention of local businesses that may potentially sponsor the academy, thus resulting in more available funding for the college.
