Leadership and Volunteering

The North Charnwood Leadership Academy are essentially our workforce. Without them it would be impossible for us to deliver such a comprehensive competition and events programme. Through the academy we give young people opportunities to volunteer at our events, leading and officiating their peers giving a unique opportunity to develop many transferable life skills which can enhance their experience within school, and open doors to further education and employment. Volunteering and developing as a young leader can support increased self-esteem, raised attainment, and an opportunity to gain a wide range of recognised qualifications.

Our Primary School Leaders attend two conferences throughout the academic year and are trained in the nationally recognised Primary Playmaker Award (Sports Leaders UK). They deliver Change 4 Life Sports Clubs within their own school, alongside interventions targeting the inactive.

Our secondary young leaders are trained throughout the year, where possible gaining NGB qualifications, to support at a wide range of Level 2 competitions.

Our most committed young leaders are given the opportunity to lead on the Nationally recognised LeicesterShire & Rutland School Games Level 3 county competitions.
