DGU 10
is a collaboration between the Royal Theater Ballet School Odense and Sports Academy Denmark. The collaboration offers young people to take their 10th grade at a post-secondary school, where there is room for and focus on young sports talents who are driven by dreams and dedication, and to know how to work purposefully in order to develop and improve themselves both sportingly, academically and humanly.
At Sports Academy Denmark, you can have an after-school stay and combine it with playing your sport seriously for many hours each week without compromising on any of the parts.
There are typically 3 challenges to being a dedicated sports athlete at post-secondary school: time for training, sporting level and the setup/environment around the student.
You can also be a DGU10 if you are connected to an institution that offers education the equivalent of a 10.kl
