Bradford City are linking with Bradford College in a free health and fitness programme, entitled Sport for Life.

The programme which is supported by Bradford Health Authority is aimed at anyone who has an interest in exercise and fitness.

Many of the exercise techniques are highlighted in the course are used by City players, other teams and individuals in sport, but it applies to everyone where they are involved in sport or simply want to improve their fitness levels and lifestyle.

There are 1,000 free places on the course which will lead to a Foundation Studies in Exercise Certificate which will be presented at a graduation ceremony at Valley Parade.

It will take about 90 hours to work through the course, but it is flexible and studies can be done at home or anywhere where it is convenient, including the football club.

The college's sports co-ordinator and Sport for Life teacher John Tiffany said: "It is a very practical course where people can devise their own programme to keep themselves fit."

For further information on the course, telephone 01274-753333.
