Young Sports Leaders
Who they are:
Our young sports leaders are children chosen from year 5 and 6 who are asked to sign up and are selected depending on their qualities. Sports leaders are children who show great leadership qualities, are confident and have a strong interest in sports.
What they do:
Sports leaders support active sessions during play times to engage children and to encourage them to try a variety of different sports and activities throughout the year. They will hold assemblies throughout the year to talk to the children, receive feedback and reviews on how they can improve their activities.
The benefits of Young Sports Leaders are that it encourages young people to take responsibility and develop leadership skills. It also continues to develop skills such as organisation, communication, confidence and self esteem alongside planning and reviewing activities. Another huge benefit is the co-operation which helps develop key social skills.
