Take a look at the Centre of Sporting Excellence, where Kidderminster Harriers students train and study!
The Centre of Sporting Excellence (CoSE) is based on the outskirts of Kidderminster at Brinton’s Field. This is the specialist facility for our football academy in partnership with Kidderminster Harriers Football Club. Our facilities include access to six football pitches, a ‘trophy’ pitch, and a strength and conditioning gym spread over 40 acres of land. Kidderminster Harriers Football Academy also uses the playing fields.
