Course Description

Sports & Recreation Studies – (QQI Level 5)

The Open College



The aim of this QQI Sports & Recreation Studies – 5N2667 course is to provide the learner with the necessary practical and theoretical knowledge of Sports and Recreation in Ireland.  The learner will acquire  an understanding of how different sporting organisations work successfully.

Similarly, the learner will acquire an understanding of how these organisations are interrelated with healthy living and active sports participation in Ireland.   Thus the gamut of how Sports and Recreation impacts on Government policy, Tourism, individual sports participation and amenity provision strategies will be covered.  The course will explore the history and growth of Sports and Recreation, how it has developed over time and how it is now an integrated part of Irish society.

The course will delve into the ethical and legal requirements with regard to running and administration of sports and leisure environments. These are critical to the successful and safe workings of the organisations. By the end of the course the learner will therefore have a broad understanding of history, organisational structures and their functions and the impact on the individual participant.
