Junior Sports Leadership Course

Trinity Sport has now opened applications for our Junior Sports Leadership Programme 2017. The course is aimed at 16-18 year olds who wish to broaden their knowledge of sport and coaching. This course will give participants an excellent learning opportunity as well as practical coaching experience.

What

The Junior Sports Leaders Course is aimed at participants from 16 - 18 years of age and aims to develop their skills in sports leadership. The course combines practical and theory work where pupils demonstrate knowledge and understanding. It aims to give the confidence and tools to enable the student to assist with the running of sports/activity sessions.

There are three phases to the programme:
Phase 1 - A one week, 20 hour, course in leadership and coaching skills
Phase 2 - undertaking voluntary coaching and leadership on our Summer Children's Sports Camps
Phase 3 - Completion of a log book of coaching hours worked during phase 2
