Young People Complete Community Sports Leadership Award

The Gibraltar Sports and Leisure Authority has delivered its Community Sports Leadership Award during the recent Midterm break, giving young people the chance to develop leadership skills and gain practical experience in organising and leading sports activities.

Participants will now volunteer with local sports associations, while successful completion also provides one of the minimum qualifications needed to apply for a Sports Leader role in next summer’s GSLA programme.

A statement from the Government follows below:

The Gibraltar Sports and Leisure Authority recently delivered its Community Sports Leadership Award during the Midterm break. 

The programme provides participants with the opportunity to develop valuable leadership and life skills through sport, while gaining practical experience in planning and leading sporting sessions, organising competitions and delivering activities for children. 

Successful completion of the programme provides one of the minimum qualifications required to apply for a Sports Leader role within the GSLA Summer Sports Programme. 

Over the coming months, this fantastic group of young leaders will be putting their newly acquired skills into practice by volunteering to support registered sports associations. 

The Minister for Sport, the Hon Leslie Bruzon, said: “Thanks to everyone involved in this brilliant programme that empowers young people to develop real life skills and give back to the community. We hope to welcome many of them back as Sports Leaders next summer!”
