People within the town of Athlone have a deep infinity with soccer. Athlone Town who are the oldest club in the League was founded in 1887. Many might remember the historical night AC Milan came to St Mels park and left with a point. There were many more famous nights in Athlone over the years and some of Athlone Community Colleges proudest moments were some of our ex students who went onto to represent Athlone Town and had international success to follow.

Ex Student Testimonial : Adam Lennon
I am so pleased that I made the decision to attend Athlone Community College. The school provides a strong academic base while also allowing students to express themselves in whatever field that may be. Although I eventually chose to put all my time into soccer, Athlone Community College allowed me to experience various forms of Athletics as well as allowing me to play Gaelic Football with all my friends and classmates. As may schedule started to become busier, Athlone Community College allowed me the freedom of being able to complete my studies while I represented the school for both Leinster and the Republic of Ireland. The education I received was second to none and I am now currently studying Sports and Exercise Management at University College Dublin along with receiving a soccer scholarship from the University. None of this would have been possible without the backing of an excellent support group from the school
