Grade 4 in GCSE English Language or GCSE English Literature
Young people undertaking a qualification in Sports Leadership will learn and demonstrate important life skills such as effective communication, planning, responsibility and organisation whilst learning to lead basic physical activities to their peers and younger people within the community.
Sessions use sport to deliver fun and engaging physical activities with peers and the community. Students will plan, lead and evaluate sports/physical activity sessions over a number of tutored hours and then demonstrate their leadership skills as part of their assessment. Lessons consist of both guided & peer-to-peer learning including supervised leadership to ensure that learners have developed the skills they need to lead basic physical activities to other people.
