Young Ambassadors

There are at least 2 Bronze Young Ambassadors per primary school who are leaders in physical education and sport. The Bronze Young Ambassadors work with teachers to organise events for the school, lead and organise playground activities for Years 1-6 and form part of the school council to deliver the YA outcomes. These pupils often take on the role of a ‘school physical activity reporter’ to showcase the good work they are doing. They support the development of Physical Literacy by promoting sport and physical activity within the school via newsletters and film. Sometimes they support older leaders to deliver sessions in schools and in the community.

Silver Young Ambassadors are pupils in Years 10 and 11. There are at least 2 Silver YAs per secondary school and they are the leaders in PE and school sport.  The Silver YAs work with teachers, 5×60 officers & Gold YAs to organise events for the school and often lead and organise extra-curricular physical activity opportunities (5×60, Dragon Multi-skills). The Silver YAs form part of the school council to deliver the YA outcomes and train and support Bronze YAs in feeder primary schools. Outside of school they support local events and community clubs, reporting and showcasing the good work they do via social-media, newsletters, film etc.

Gold Young Ambassadors are young people aged 16 plus. There are at least 2 Gold YAs per Local Authority area. These pupils are high performing YAs who champion PE and school sport across their LA and nationally. They are the team leaders of other YAs across the LA and work with Sport Development teams to organise events & promote PE, sport and physical activity. They organise and deliver YA training for Silver and Bronze YAs and provide the young person’s voice at LA-wide meetings e.g. Community Chest, LAPA boards. The Gold YAs also support LA-wide events by helping to meet and greet VIPs, public speaking and supporting and mentoring younger YAs to be the best they can be.
