Skills for Life: Leading a Sport Activity Session
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg Pearson.
Leading a sport activity session is a Pearson Skills for Life unit in which learners help plan and lead a sport or physical activity session, from setting out equipment and assisting at Entry 1 to planning, leading and adapting a whole session at Level 2, then reflecting on how it went. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Pearson Skills for Life Award, Certificate or Diploma, at any level from Entry 1 to Level 2, graded pass or fail. Literacy sits in giving instructions and demonstrations, adapting communication to participants, writing session plans and reflecting on the session. Numeracy is light: timing activities in the plan, with counting repetitions and measuring distances suggested.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): One assessment criterion at each of Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3: list or state the equipment for a sport activity session and carry out tasks to assist in leading it, and at Entry 3 outline and apply simple leadership skills while following a basic plan. Centres choose the type of evidence; it is internally assessed by the centre and quality assured by Pearson through standards verification. 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: One assessment criterion at each of Level 1 and Level 2: describe and apply straightforward leadership skills to assist in planning and leading a session safely (Level 1), or explain key leadership skills, apply them when planning and leading a session and adapt them to different situations (Level 2), then review the session. Centres choose the type of evidence; it is internally assessed by the centre and quality assured by Pearson through standards verification. 20 guided learning hours.

Giving instructions and demonstrations to a group
Learners communicate with participants while leading, from following support cues at Entry 1 to giving the group instructions and demonstrations for a progressive drill at Level 1. Communication is named as a leadership skill at Entry 3. Applying leadership skills while leading is required by the criteria from Entry 3 upwards.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils explain the rules of a simple tag game to a small group in under a minute, then check the group understood by asking one question.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils lead a warm up for their class, giving each instruction clearly and demonstrating each stretch before the group copies it.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils teach a passing drill to a group of Year 7 pupils, choosing simple words, demonstrating each step and using a whistle and gestures in a noisy hall.

Adapting communication to participants' needs
Level 2 learners deliver the session independently and change their leadership skills, for example their communication, in response to participants' needs, and the Level 2 criterion requires them to adapt their leadership to different situations. Lower levels follow a plan and do not need to adapt.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils explain the same game twice, once to a partner and once as if to a much younger child, and discuss what they changed.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils lead a short drill and, when a partner signals they are confused, rephrase the instruction or demonstrate it again.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils lead a session for a mixed ability group and adjust their explanations, pace and encouragement as they watch how participants respond.

Reflecting on the session and own leadership
After the session learners review how it went, from naming the equipment and tasks at Entry 1 to identifying strengths and areas for improvement at Entry 3. Level 1 learners describe the effectiveness of the activity and their contribution, and Level 2 learners reflect on what went well and their own strengths and areas for development. This is required by the assessment guidance at every level.

Da gwybod
- The unit is "SfL 29 Leading a sport activity session" with "20" guided learning hours (Unit summary, page 6). WJEC has no equivalent leadership unit in its Skills Suite.
- A unit is achieved at one level only: "Learners can only achieve each unit once, at a single level" (Rules of Combination, page 6).
- Evidence is the centre's choice: "there are no mandatory evidence requirements and centres can select the type of evidence" (Essential information for assessment decisions, page 134), so much of the communication can be evidenced through observation rather than writing.
- The unit maps to the Languages, Literacy and Communication statement "Expressing ourselves through languages is key to communication" as well as Health and Well-being (Statements of 'what matters' mapping, page 136).
- The teaching content is not printed in the specification: it "can be found in the Teaching and Learning Support document for this unit" (Unit content, page 134).
- AI may be used only if it is acknowledged, and "the final submission must be in the learner's own words" (Requirements relating to permitted/prohibited resources, page 136).
- The specification points to "Section 6 Glossary" (Units, page 11) when the glossary is section 7.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
WJEC has no Skills Suite unit on leading a sport session; Exercise for all is about taking part in activity rather than leading it. The closest WJEC qualifications are the VCSE in Sport and Leisure, whose optional Unit 4, Leadership and Coaching in Sport and Leisure, asks for the same planning, instructing and reviewing in a longer assessed task, and the Foundation in Sport and Leisure, whose Unit 2 has learners plan, set up, support and review a real activity. The coaching option in the GCSE Physical Education and Health performance unit uses the same spoken skills. Clear instructions and adapting talk to an audience also match the oracy in GCSE English Language and Literature.
