The Sport and Recreation Alliance is pleased to announce that registrations are now open for its Management and Leadership Programme, which is returning after a successful first edition in 2021.
The training programme aims to help participants build managerial competence and confidence – giving them the skills that they need to go on and become future senior leaders within the sport and recreation sector.
Covering all elements of management and leadership, the course is designed for all those whose role involves leading a team beyond first-line management, managing complex programmes and projects and/or coaching and developing existing employees, helping them to achieve personal and organisational goals.
Spaces available for the training are limited and were sold-out in 2021. If you are interested in applying to be on the programme for this year, or wish to nominate a colleague, you will need to complete an application form.
Members of the Sport and Recreation Alliance can benefit from a fantastic discounted rate of £2,999, while non-members are able to access the course for £3,499.
Register by downloading and completing this form.
On the course, participants will benefit from 12 days of tailored, immersive learning, delivered in a hybrid format - as well as a residential trip towards the start of the programme, where they will have the opportunity to interact more closely with fellow attendees.
The programme will be hosted by Amanda Bennett – a leading expert in good governance, effective leadership and inclusion.?Amanda will be joined by a host of others at the top of their fields, including former national TV presenter Keith Daniell, Tottenham Football Club’s HR Manager, Victoria Parsons, and Hybrid Executive Coach and Psychologist, Steph Tranter.
Learners will undertake a wide range of modules, from developing personal goals and strengths to enhancing team collaboration.
Karen Roberts, Head of Performance Operations at British Judo, completed the programme in 2021 and said: “The course has been a fantastic opportunity post the pandemic to come together with lots of different people across the sector and network and understand each other’s environments.
“It has really enabled us to understand the skills around management and leadership, particularly managing our people, understanding our people, getting the best out of our people, and all the tools that are required to do that.
“One thing I’d say is that if anybody is looking for an opportunity to develop their skills within management and leadership, this is definitely a course I’d recommend for them.”
London Sport’s Head of Insight, Daniel Stracey, completed the programme last year and said: “The course was greatly beneficial providing a valuable forum to connect with peers and reflect on best practice.
“The rich and varied range of sessions have helped me to develop my awareness of strengths and revitalise my approach to personal career development keeping this fresh and inspired.”

While progress has been made in many areas, there remains a glaring need for greater representation of women in leadership roles, particularly on boards and as chairs of sports organisations.
