Sports Leader Award
The Sports Leader Award level 4* consists of three units of work including at least one hour of demonstration of Leadership. The course is a leadership course that is undertaken through sport. It gives the pupils a practical experience of planning, organising and delivering physical activity. Through the course the pupils are encouraged to become more community minded and ambitious. The course delivers qualities of professional skills; experience that employers and universities value.
Level 4
Unit 1 – Establishing Leadership Skills
As well as learning about teaching and learning styles and the building blocks of learning the unit also includes fair play in sport (covering aspects such as cheating, sportsmanship, gamesmanship, ethics and morals) and the role of a sports official (roles and responsibilities of officials and governing bodies within sport and in leadership).
Unit 2 – Plan, assist in leading and review sport/physical activity sessions
This unit is very practical in its nature and involves pupils developing their practical leadership skills through planning organizing and teaching physical activities to younger pupils in Lomond School.
Unit 3 – Lead activities that promote a healthy lifestyle
This unit builds on the pupils practical leading skills where they will learn about health and how to promote and create a healthy lifestyle to young people.
As well as gaining the Sports Leader Level 4 qualification it is hoped that pupils will also develop their coaching skills in a number of different sports and depending on circumstances this may involve gaining governing body accredited awards. The use of external coach educators to validate these awards ican sometimes incur an additional cost dependent on class size and courses undertaken.
