High School Block:

Sport and Recreation Leadership 120

The vision for this course is to have learners successfully plan, organize, and administer their own event, tournament, and program. Educators will facilitate opportunities for learners to develop sport and recreation leadership skills within their school, community and beyond. The learner’s leadership potential is developed when initiatives serve to reinforce skill development around leadership roles. This course seeks to use sport and recreational activities as a tool for creating concrete leadership experiences and develop leadership potential. Learners will explore various roles in team dynamics, including being a leader, mentor, and collaborating positively with others in inclusive experiences. The emphasis of this course focuses on planning, performance, evaluation, and reflection. Planning and operation of events, tournaments, and programs will require learners to dedicate time outside of school hours (e.g., before school, after school, evenings, and/or weekends).
