Sixth Form Students Kick Off Sports Leadership Course with Manchester City

Sixth form students who are studying sports leadership have begun an exciting 12-week journey to achieve their Level 2 Community Sports Leadership Award in partnership with Manchester City at the Etihad Sports Complex.

Committing two days per week, students are developing essential leadership qualities such as communication, organisation, decision making, problem solving and collaboration. With guidance from Manchester City’s expert coaches, they are learning how to plan and deliver short sports sessions across a variety of sports whilst using world class facilities.

In addition to practical experience, students must complete coursework and a final assessment to earn their Level 2 qualification. This incredible achievement will support students in a range of vocational careers, helping them take the next steps in their careers when they leave Melland.

As part of this course our Sixth Formers have been lucky enough to experience the Etihad with a tour of the iconic stadium and a peak behind the scenes as well as having the chance to take advantage of free tickets to both the men’s and women’s games courtesy of Manchester City.

A huge well done to our next Sports Leaders – we look forward to seeing what you all achieve next!
