Sports Performance and Leadership is best suited for students who have an interest in the practical aspects of Sport, Fitness and Recreation. This course is of benefit to students who are considering working in fitness centres or in the coaching field as a possible career. A portion of the course is also applicable to students’ own training and sports performance.

The course is completed over two years. Students can attend the course for either one or two years, starting in their Yr 12 or Yr 13 year at school. Every second year the course content is repeated, allowing students to enter the course as either Yr 12 or Yr 13 student in any given year (and not repeat any content).
