2009 Sports Leadership Program
ACTSPORT is pleased to invite your school to participate in the Sports Leadership Program, to be held during Term 1 of 2008. The Sports Leadership Program is committed to providing sport and recreation leadership opportunities and skills for upper primary school students (Years 5/6). ACTSPORT has run this program for a number of years and believes it to be an extremely valuable and worthwhile program. Following is a basic outline of the Sports Leaders Program.
The Sports Leaders Program
Phase 1 Students participate in a training day at the Uni of Canberra in Bruce. This day involves a rotation of sport and games sessions conducted by Sport Development Officers (SDO). Following each session, class teachers lead a discussion, which focuses on the performance of the SDO in order to identify coaching/teaching techniques such as group management and maximising participation. The training day begins at 9.45 am and finishes at around 2.30 pm.
Phase 2 Under the guidance of the sport coordinator or teacher, the students continue to develop their leadership skills in their school environment.
Phase 3 Students are given the opportunity to practice their coaching/teaching skills by taking on leadership roles within their school or community. This may involve assisting with sports carnivals, sports lessons with junior students, or taking on peer support roles with junior students.

The Sports Leadership Program is open to all Canberra region primary schools and is run during the first term of each school year. The aim is to develop leadership skills in the sport and recreation industry. Students attend a training day at the ACT Netball Centre where they experience and critique a variety of coaching and group management styles delivered by Development Officers from various ACT sporting organisations. After the training day, students are encouraged to further develop the skills they obtained at the training day and take on leadership roles within their school.

Sports Leader Medal
Piloted in 2003, the Sports Leader Medal seeks applications from senior high school and college students from the Canberra region. Successful students attend a two-day workshop covering issues such as leadership styles, risk management, sports psychology, communication, planning a sports session and inclusive practices in sport.
After the workshop, students are encouraged to secure a mentor (someone from the sport and recreation industry) who guide them over the following months, assisting them in gaining additional skills and experience in the industry. Students gain points for completing particular tasks and once they have obtained 40 points, they are eligible for the Sports Leader Medal.
