Short Course

This course is very popular with students who enjoy team sports such as football, basketball and tag rugby and equally as popular with students who enjoy training at the gym design and can design their own training programme with our qualified sports staff. The course is delivered from our onsite boxing gym and the Hinckley Leisure Centre, which is just a few minutes walk from our Centre. Other sports included on the course are badminton, tennis, boxing, golf and orienteering.

Course Introduction

The Sports and Fitness Short Course accredits up to 60 hours of involvement in various sporting activities.

The flexibility of ASDAN's Short Courses means they can be carried out in a variety of settings, over a time period to suit the individual or co-ordinating centre. Challenge descriptions can be interpreted and adapted according to the situation.

This Short Course can be completed using the student book or is available for learners to complete online through the ASDAN e-portfolio system. Learners log in to complete challenges, record skills development and upload evidence. Tutors can view learner progress and sign off work, leaving feedback as needed.

Who is this course for?

Young people of all abilities, mainly aged between 11 and 18.

Because Short Courses are multi-level, the focus is on completing challenges and skills development according to individual ability, rather than attainment at a specific level.
