Sports leader

Sports Leaders UK (www.sportsleaders.org) is a registered charity, providing opportunities to gain awards and qualifications in essential sports leadership skills.

The nationally recognized awards help develop core skills such as organization, motivation and communication, as well as giving candidates the opportunity to grow in confidence.

The practical aspect of the awards can equip the candidate with lifelong self-management and leadership skills.

The qualifications can act as a stepping stone to employment and volunteering, helping people to become healthier and active in their community.

Volunteer

For many sports clubs to be run efficiently they need volunteers. The jobs associated with running a club are wide and varied.

In most cases players double up their contribution to the club by taking on other roles, such as player and accountant.

Volunteers are often vital to keep a club in existence.

They often draw on their life skills to help with the role.

OfficialIn 2007/08 the Youth Sport Trust funded training for young people between the ages of 16 and 19 to officiate at sports such as athletics, volleyball, swimming and gymnastics.

The aim was to give young people skills to help at events alongside top officials.

sports coach UK is dedicated to guiding the development and implementation of a coaching system, recognized as a world leader, for all coaches at every level in the UK.

The UK Coaching Framework was launched in April 2007. In January 2009 31 sports were signed up to The Framework.

The UK Coaching Framework has been developed in cooperation with sports coach UK, governing bodies of sport, the four Home Country Sports Councils, SkillsActive, UK Sport, Youth Sport Trust, government departments and agencies, local authorities, British Olympic and Paralympic associations and the Association for Physical Education.

The vision of The UK Coaching Framework is to:

•Create a cohesive, ethical, inclusive and valued coaching system where skilled coaches support children, players and athletes at all stages of their development in sport.

•Become world number one by 2016
