Community Sport Leaders Award

The CLSA is divided into seven tutored units of work.  Upon completing the seven units satisfactorily, candidates must complete a minimum of ten hours voluntary leadership experience.  This voluntary experience should be recorded and signed off in the relevant section of the log book by both the Voluntary Leadership Supervisor and the Tutor/Assessor.

Each candidate must be aged 16 or over at the time of registration.  A log book will be issued to each candidate for the BST Level 1 Award in Community Sports Leadership at the start of the course. It is designed to assist each candidate in charting their progress through the tutored hours of the course and also the 10 hours of Leadership Experience.  The log book outlines the skills and knowledge that each candidate will have to demonstrate in order to complete the Award successfully.
