PHYSICAL EDUCATION : PERFORMANCE UNITS/CSLA

Why Physical Education?

Performance Units/Coaching Sports Leaders Award(CSLA) is a course, which is being offered to S5/6 students who have a genuine interest in participation in physical activity and are keen to develop their coaching knowledge in a variety of activities. 

Performance units will be undertaken with improvement and achievement in a number of activities (including swimming) providing the main focus.  This will result in the achievement of a Practical Performance Unit ranging from Intermediate 1 to Advanced Higher.

The Coaching Sports Leader Award will involve both participation and coaching of a variety of activities.  Throughout the award, the students will gain an insight into coaching and will gain the skills and expertise to be involved with the coaching process.  Some coaching qualifications will be available to students from a variety of governing bodies.

This course consists of 6 periods per week and only those students who have a genuine desire to be physically active each day should consider this option.
