Leadership Academy

Each academic year we recruit a new crop of leaders with our partner high schools from students from Year 9 and 10 who demonstrate a keen interest in volunteering and leadership. The academy programme is designed to encourage personal development and provide invaluable experience in the sports industry, setting a great foundation for their future career aspirations. 

Get Involved

At our September Leadership Academy induction event, we will provide a preview of the experiences and what to expect over the year. As a vital member of our dynamic second workforce, you’ll play a very important role in helping us to deliver over 70 events annually for both primary and secondary school students. Your dedication will not only contribute to the success of these events but also accumulate valuable hours. These hours are more than just numbers; they represent key milestones. As you reach these milestones, you’ll unlock a series of rewards that celebrate your commitment, effort and learning including: 

• Officiating kits  
• Leaders’ t-shirt 
• Celebration Day: be part of the School Games festivities. 
• Sports Awards Recognition: where we spotlight the most committed and improved leaders. 

Graduating the academy means you’ve completed over 40 hours demonstrating essential personal skills that will be invaluable in your future. So, if you’re eager to develop your passion for sports into meaningful experiences, then Chorley SSP’s Leadership Academy is your springboard.
