Sports Leaders Sports Leadership (SCQF Levels 4 / 5 / 6)

Why this award?

Young people undertaking a qualification in Sports Leadership will learn and demonstrate important life skills such as effective communication and organisation whilst learning to lead basic physical activities to younger people, their peers, older generations and within the community.

The courses involve both guided & peer-to-peer learning and supervised leadership to ensure that learners have all the skills they need to lead basic physical activities to other people.

Participants will learn and hone their skills in communication & leadership and boost their confidence to become more employable and help lead others. In doing so your organisation will benefit from creating a cohort of young leaders who can be role models for other students and improve your organisation’s standing in the local community.
