The aim of this unit is to give learners an opportunity to inspire, motivate and improve the performance of a selected target group through the delivery of a sport activity and event.

UNIT INTRODUCTIONThe number of people taking part in sport is continually increasing due to Government initiatives to createa healthier nation. As a result there is a current increased demand for more volunteer leaders and sportscoaches.

Sports leaders are now required in a variety of settings including schools, youth centres, sports centres,crèches, hospitals and hospices.

This unit will give learners the knowledge and skills to be able to plan and lead a range of practical sportsactivities. The unit content can be adapted to suit a range of activities for different individuals and groups,including children and those with specific needs.

The unit provides learners with what could be their first step into leadership and sports coaching, and couldbe linked to the completion of a sport leader’s award, for example Junior Sports Leaders (JSL) or Community Sports Leaders (CSL).

The unit looks at the qualities needed for effective sports leadership. Learners will identify the qualitiesrequired by studying real examples of successful leaders, possibly those they have worked with or observed in the community.

The unit requires learners to follow the planning process involved in developing a sports leadership sessionand event.
