In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The qualifying learner achieving this unit standard in combination with context expertise standard(s) will be able to organise and implement sport programmes at the beginner and intermediate levels.

In addition the learner will be well positioned to extend their learning and practice to other areas where the aspects of organisation and administration are needed to support group activities, or to strive toward unit standards and practice at higher levels.

Competent qualifying learners will be able to organise groups and individuals and provide basic administrative support in sport instruction settings, thus improving the efficiency of sport programmes as well as raising the standard of sport administration in general. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
It is assumed that a learner attempting this unit standard will show competence in communication and numeric equivalent to NQF level 5. 

UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
Guides to the scope and complexity of the specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge are provided in examples for each outcome. These are prefaced by "for example" since they are neither comprehensive nor necessarily appropriate to all contexts. Alternatives must, however, be comparable in scope and complexity. These are intended only as a general guide to the scope and complexity of what is required. 

Specific Outcomes and Assessment Criteria: 

SPECIFIC OUTCOME 1 
Demonstrate organisation and administrative efficiency in implementing a sport programme 
OUTCOME NOTES 
For example:
  • Organise and conduct an effective meeting with participants, parents and supporters before, during and after the season.
  • Keep appropriate minutes of all meetings and file reports on coaching.
  • Use appropriate administrative forms related to physical examination, indemnity, facility scheduling, travel and budgeting 

  • ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    When conducting assessments, assessors must ensure that they are familiar with the full text of the Unit Standards being assessed.
    They must ensure that the assessment covers the specific outcomes, critical cross-field outcomes and essential embedded knowledge.
    As each situation is different, it will be necessary to develop assessment activities and tools that are appropriate to the contexts in which practitioners are working. These activities and tools may include self-assessment, peer assessment, formative and summative assessment.
    The specific outcomes and essential embedded knowledge must be assessed in relation to each other. If a practitioner is able to explain the essential embedded knowledge but is unable to perform the specific outcomes, they should not be assessed as competent. Similarly, if a practitioner is able to perform the specific outcomes but is unable to explain or justify their performance in terms of the essential embedded knowledge, they should not be assessed as competent.
    Demonstrated ability to make DECISIONS about practice and to ACT accordingly:
    1. An efficient sport programme is organised and sustained.
    2. A cost-effective plan to maintain facilities and equipment/apparatus is implemented.
    3. A transportation plan to ensure access to sport opportunities is implemented.
    Demonstrated ability to learn from our actions and to ADAPT PERFORMANCE:
    4. An event is organised and conducted that meets the unique needs of a specific group of beginning or intermediate level performers.

    METHOD OF ASSESSMENT
    Assessment should include practical demonstration of competence, either in the workplace or through work-realistic, out-of-classroom simulation.

    A range of assessment methods should be used, including:
    Direct observation - watch the practitioner carry out the task or produce a desired outcome during the course of his or her normal work under normal workplace conditions.
    Product sample - examine the outcomes previously produced by the practitioner.
    Simulation of a specific task - set a specific task for the practitioner to demonstrate in a simulated environment.
    Questioning (verbal or written) - ask relevant questions linked to the unit standard.
    Testimony - collect a portfolio of evidence from suitable people, e.g. report from a third party.

    Integrated Assessment
    It may be more effective and efficient to assess a number of unit standards together thus reducing the overall number of assessment 'events'.
  • Consider a complete activity in the workplace (the 'whole of work' approach) and see which unit standards relate to this activity.
  • Work out how practitioners could collect evidence on a number of unit standards at the same time covering all the critical aspects of the standards.
  • Ensure that commonalities that exist between a number of unit standards are captured in a way that makes sense for assessment. 

  • SPECIFIC OUTCOME 2 
    Evaluate the impact of equipment types, sizes, qualities, etc. on sport performance. 
    OUTCOME NOTES 
    For example:
  • Communicate with groundskeepers, etc., regarding care and maintenance of facilities and equipment.
  • Analysis the safety and quality of equipment in selected sports.
  • Plan a budget to replace equipment over a period of time.
  • Determine the most cost-effective way for performers to gain access to proper equipment, clothing and other apparatus needed for their sport
