Sport For All Course

Waterford Sports Partnership has trained two tutors to deliver this award. The Award has been developed to ensure that leaders have the necessary competencies to plan and lead safe, enjoyable sport and physical activity sessions. It takes approximately 20 hours to complete the training, which is tutored in an interactive, facilitative style with practical learning experiences.

Those wishing to train as a leader must be: over 16 years in Northern Ireland and over 18 years in Ireland at the start of the training course and should already have a link with a group. Specific sporting skills are not required. Interest, enthusiasm, communication skills and the intention to use the Award are more important. The training will be a practical and enjoyable experience. Participants are assessed throughout the course on attendance, interest, personal skills, and leadership skills. At the end of the course, the successful leader should be able to plan and lead safe and enjoyable Sport For All sessions. Trainees, who receive a satisfactory course assessment, will be invited to plan, lead and evaluate at least five Sport For All sessions and these must be logged in the Sport For All leader logbook. Completed logbooks are returned to the Sport For All office and a certificate of competence will be issued.

We will be running a Sport for All course in the near future......keep any eye on the Calendar of Events for this course and other events organised by Waterford Sports Partnership.
