SportsCoach have teamed up with Sports Leaders UK in delivering courses integrated within the SportsCoach syllabus. Most of our UK schools are running the Sports Leaders Level 1 and Young Leaders. Students are able to enrol at no extra cost.

The Sports Leaders Level 1 and Young Leaders courses provide an ideal starting point for young pupils to develop their sports leadership skills.

Sports Leaders Level 1 – For 14 year olds and above

The course is fully approved by the Qualification and Curriculum Authority (QCA) and appears on section 86/87 of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). Successful completion carries 6.3 points towards the point system as set out by the QCA - meaning the Level 1 Award can help towards your child's chances of getting into the right place for further education.

All students will work practically towards leading the rest of the squad in small groups and as a whole in sports activities.

They will all develop their leadership skills in the context of :

  • Planning, preparing and assisting a simple sporting activity
  • Basic communication skills for leading a sporting activity
  • Principles and practice in delivering a basic health and fitness session
  • Understanding fair play in Sport
  • Understanding the role of the sports official
  • Understanding the scope of local sport and recreation activities
  • Demonstration of leadership skills in sport
