RandomPeersoon Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I've never been the kind of person who does sport and it's the main thing for "Action" in CAS, but what can you do if you don't do sports? Also, would Duke of Edinburgh count? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Go to the gym. yes D of E can count. your expedition specifically but ask your coordinator Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlwiththeBlueBox Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you're into drama and that sort of thing you can use a musical (it specifically has to have dancing in). That's what I use! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlessventure Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 If you have a bike, try taking that up. Just bike everywhere you go, so you don't have to set aside time for "action" and instead just incorporate it into your daily life. Works for me Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshiemellow Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Lots of little social activities such as rock climbing and ice skating. These don't require a weekly commitment and are usually very fun so maybe even if you don't like sport you'll like these Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpediem Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Duke of Edinburgh counts, but you have to check with your coordinator just in case. For me not only does it count for Action, but I get Creative and Service hours from my Duke of Edinburgh. (It's really useful because the hours count for both, don't overdo itAnd you could use gym time for your action - I know it's an option. Possibly walking a dog too. Anything active should be alright, you could even combine it with another activity (e.g. volunteering at a pre-school, and often it requires you to run around so it could be both Service and Action).

JoeZell Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I do archery, and yoga. I'm going to get my bike fixed soon though, so I shall cycle and count that. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rena Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 You should definitely look into the Duke of Edinburgh program. It looks wonderful on a transcript and counts towards your action. That's what I'm doing. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Who should I put as my supervisor if I go to the gym?My supervisor is the lady at the reception desk. Sometimes she's not even there, so someone else signs my forms and my CAS coordinator never saw any problem in it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flinquinnster Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, I run before school so I get sport staff to sign us off (despite actually not being able to see us run most of the time!)You could:-Volunteer to walk people's dogs for free and you could get them to sign your log (or maybe you could just 'borrow' dogs -Get the person at the gym to sign your form, translated perhaps? Ask your co-ordinator for a translated copy, maybe-Otherwise, you can check whether your co-ordinator would allow a supervising family member to sign your form (though this is highly unlikely, really).

I just told her I need it for school, cause I don't have PE there. Why would it be awkward? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
