To encourage participation and improvement in physical
activity.
How long?
Bronze: 3 or 6 months.
Silver: 3 or 6 months (or 12 if the participant
is a direct entrant and decides not to do 12 months in the service section or 6 in the skill section).
Gold: 6 or 12 months (or 18 if the participant is
a direct entrant and decides not to do 18 months in the service section or 12 in the skills section).
REMEMBER: These are only minimum timescales, you
are bound to get a lot out of participating in a physical activity and many participants continue even after they have finished
their award!
And what will I do?
The list below is extremely long, and even if it
isn't on the list, you can probably do it as well! There are just three stages to follow.
1. Initial Briefing: You will have a meeting with an appropriate person and your award leader and discuss what you
will be doing, what you plan to achieve and how/when you will be assessed for your award.
2. Training: You will undertake some structured training in your selected activity.
3. Assessment: This will be another meeting with your award leader and an appropriate person to discuss what
you have done, sign your book and talk about future opportunities.
Points to remember; As with all parts of the award
the physical recreation section needs to be voluntary and not involve anything that counts towards your degree.
I'm Unimaginative - give me a list of stuff
to do!
