Year 7/8 Sports Coaching - Senior Interchange

For Senior Interchange this term we decided to allow students to choose 2 electives.  Subjects on offer: Outdoor Ed; Sports Coaching; Geography and Science.  Each interchange subject runs for 3 consecutive Thursdays, 11:30am-3pm.

Below are a selection of photos from Round 1 of Sports Coaching.

In groups, students had to plan and teach a group of Year 3/4 students.  They had to devise:
a) a warm up game;
b) a drill/skill session, and
c) a modified game.

Students were assessed on their communicative and organisational skills; along with specific skills in group management, coaching instruction and coach feedback.  

Some student instructor quotes:
"Being a teacher is hard," Aljaz.
"What do you do when kids say 'No'?" Paris D.
"They didn't listen," Molly.

I think that being a coach gave the Year 7/8s a new found appreciation for the work that teachers do on a weekly basis.  :)
