Sports Leader Awards
The Sports Leader Awards use the medium of sport to help people learn essential skills such as working with and organising others, as well as motivational, communication and teamwork skills. The increase in confidence and self esteem is visibly apparent and the practical experience that is gained provides lifelong skills in self management and leadership. A Sports Leader Award is a nationally recognised qualification and a great way into volunteering, future employment or education
Level 1 Award in Sports Leadership
The award is a nationally recognised qualification that helps people over the age of 14 develop their leadership skills. It’s a fun course and offers an insight into the enjoyment one can gain through sports leadership.
The syllabus fosters generic skills, which can be applied to a variety of different sporting activities as well as contributing to the candidates personal and social education.
It’s a practical qualification where candidates learn through doing, rather than through written work. A candidates ability as a competent leader is assessed by observation rather than written tests.
Level 2 Award in Community Sports Leadership
The Level 2 Award in Community Sports Leadership gives people aged 16 upwards the skills needed to plan and deliver safe sporting and recreational activities.
The Award develops vital leadership skills such as communication, organisation and motivation, whilst instilling the confidence and desire in people to make a difference within their own communities.
The qualification is practical in nature, with an emphasis on learning through doing and applying knowledge, rather than through theory.

The Tutor Training course gives participants the skills and resources to deliver Sports Leaders courses in their community be it a school, community hall, prison, youth group or wherever there is a suitable venue.
