CCPR COMMUNITY SPORTS LEADERSHIP
AWARD
Return to PE Index Page
The award is designed for people over the age of 16, community and youth workers and all interested
adults who wish to acquire confidence and ability in organising groups in games and physical recreation
A high personal sporting ability is not necessary and people with an interest in sport and recreation from a wide
range of ages, backgrounds and previous experiences are all welcome.
The course aids the personal development of participants by extending their knowledge and experience and offers
an introduction to sports leadership. Participants are encouraged to follow other courses such as CCPR Higher
Level Award or Coaching and Officiating Award Courses run by the National governing Bodies of Sport and
Recreation.
In order to successfully complete the course candidates must participate in a series of seven units with
an oral and practical assessment at the end, and undertake a minimum of ten hours voluntary practical
experience in a local situation
Successful leaders will be awarded the CCPR Community Sports Leadership Award
COURSE OUTLINE
The units are not necessarily followed in
order so that each session is usually a mixture of theory and practical.
Participants should wear tracksuit and trainers or other suitable sportswear and bring a notebook and pen to
every session.
Regular and punctual attendance is essential to the successful
completion of the course
