Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Leadership (SPARC)

SPARC leadership provides an introduction to leadership through the lens of sport, physical activity and recreation.  This course will  empower students to inspire play, healthy active living, and well-being in their classrooms, school and community.

SPARC Leadership will focus on developing leadership skills and self-awareness through movement, team building activities and play. Students will be introduced to a variety of ways in which they can be positive contributors to the culture of physical activity and well-being in their schools and local communities (eg. intramural programming; school-wide activity days, student/athletic councils). Students will connect with like-minded youth from around the province to exchange ideas that will enrich their leadership journey and make their schools and communities a better place to play!
