For those looking for paid or voluntary work in the sports area, the Sports Development team will be running Community Sports Leader Award (CSLA) courses which provide an excellent starting point.

If you want information on the Community Sports Leader Award, youth sports or provision for people with disabilities please contact the Sports Development team on 020 7736 1724.

It is possible to join at any time during the year and it may be possible to pay course fees by regular installments throughout your course, instead of paying the full amount at the start. Please ask about installment plans when you enrol.

Courses leading to a qualification will require an interview before you can enrol.
