Sports Leaders UK developed the Sports Leaders awards to give young people the necessary skills in leading groups in sporting and recreational activities. The course is an ideal first step towards gaining National Governing Body coaching qualifications. It positively promotes the work of volunteers in British sport, particularly significant following the successful bid for the London Olympic Games in 2012. It encourages participants to take responsibility for others, develop organisational and communication skills & above all, increases the confidence of people for whom leading groups is a new experience.
We provide all training including supervision & session running and completion of students’ logbooks. Whilst with us, students study Risk Assessment and Safety Procedures, learn the work ethic of dealing with younger children and the rationale behind the rules and regulations of each activity. They will then work on delivering activities and evening entertainment under the supervision of our instructors.
All students are provided with a Kingswood Sports Leader polo shirt.
This course covers students participating in the Sports Leader and Community Sports Leader courses. We are proud that Kingswood is the only outside company accredited by Sports Leaders UK to deliver Unit 7 for SL and Unit 8 for CSL to students.
At the end of the course, every student will receive a Kingswood/Sports Leaders UK Certificate confirming that they have completed their Unit 7 or Unit 8 at our centre.
