Community Sports Leaders Award - CSLA
This is a nationally recognised qualification from the CCPR, which may also be used to gain evidence for the Key Skills qualifications. Girls learn the skills needed for effective leadership and have the opportunity to put these into practice through running tournaments and competitions for younger girls.
