Sports Lesson Planning
Lesson Plan 1
Warm Up
The short warm up task will involve running around in a confined space
- a circle. The children will run round in a specific direction until
something is shouted (For example, a number). Numbers can also be
assigned to certain other body movements, for instance, if I shouted
"Three!" they would have to jump. The warm up will last about five
minutes, so as not to tire them out.
Skills and Practice
For a practice/skills based activity, an obstacle course would be set
up for them to complete (see diagram) while dribbling a football. They
will each get a turn at this, and hopefully, it will prove to be fun
as well as good practice. This activity will last about 5 - 10
minutes.

Text Box: The aim of this activity is to practice ball control.
The Game
After the warm up and practise sessions, the students will get to play
a competitive game. They will be split into two teams - one team
wearing a certain colour (e.g. red bibs). They will play on a standard
(ish) football pitch layout - incorporating two goals etc. (no
specific surface required) Aim of the game: To score in the opponent's
goal. The match will have two intermissions (halves) and a five minute
break in between halves. Half length: 15 minutes.
Text Box: Anything could be used as a goal – from a mat to proper goalposts.

Cool Down
After the match, the children will take part in a 'cool down'
activity, which would be a short jog around the playground or defined
area.
Lesson Plan 2
Warm Up
The short warm up task would involve a few exercises to get the body
warmed up - stretches, push ups and sit-ups (etc.). They will then jog
around the playground / a defined space. The warm-up will last about
five minutes.
Skills and Practice
For a practice/skills based activity, the children will be split up
Introduction The dynamics of the coach-athlete relationship in youth sports are a very vital part of the sporting arena. This topic interests me because of my developing coaching career while dealing with the youth. The performance of the team does not solely rely on the coaches or athlete’s ability. There have been instances when interactions between the coach and player have not been optimum. Indiana Coach Bob Knight is universally known for several technical fouls and being ejected from the games on various occasions during his tenure.
The National Council of Youth Sports, also known as the NCYS, is an organization that represents over 200 American corporations in the youth sports industry. The NCYS website provides information for youth athletes, parents of athletes, and current and prospective coaches. The website contains information regarding health, safety, education, and even ways to join the organization. For example, the website provides online training to become a certified sports administrator. NCYS’ mission statement is to promote the youth sport industry through advocating and educating. The National Council of Youth Sports strives to be a leading voice for the youth athletes.
To achieve a degree in Athletic Training, there are many tasks and skills to be learned. The Education Council under the National Athletic Training Association put together an education program filled with a set of guidelines of what has to be taught to graduate with a degree in Athletic Training. Before you can learn and understand Athletic Training, you must know the Anatomy and Physiology of the human body. This includes bones, muscles, levels of organization, tissue levels, systems of the body, skeletal structure, articulations, integrative functions, sensory function, blood, and embryology (Martini, 2001). Besides Anatomy and Physiology, the methods of taping is also extremely critical to this career. Before you can understand what each taping techniques are used for, you must also know about sports injuries. Athletic Training is all about the prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and evaluation of athletic injuries. Another skill that must be learned in the Athletic Training Education Program is how to provide immediate emergency care. That includes everything from background information to actually being able to save an athlete’s or any one else’s life. You must be aware of legal considerations, how and when to approach a victim, the human body systems, examining the victim, basic life support, bleeding and shock, identifying wounds, sudden illnesses, injuries, and how to care for them; also you must be aware of cold and heat related injuries, and how to rescue and move victims (Thygerson, 2001). Other information to be learned includes nutrition, health, and professional development. There are several other topics of Athletic Training; however, there are just to many to s...
On average 35 million children play youth sports each season and 85% of coaches are parents coaching their own kids. Whether basketball, soccer, baseball, or softball; furthermore, involves players, parents, referees, and a ball; additionally, if it is played as a game, in a tournament, is practiced, it will require a coach. This single figurehead will often be the deciding factor as to the level of satisfaction everyone involved receives from the experience. Coaching youth sports can be a balancing act between developing good players and cultivating great kids.
The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of two sport-specific training methodologies using a novel stickhandling and puck control (SPC) training device; physical practice (PP) and physical practice and observational learning (PP+OL), on skill acquisition and retention of SPC skills in competitive hockey players. Male (N=40), atom-aged (2005; 2006 birth years), hockey players were recruited to participate and assigned to one of three groups; PP (n=16), PP+OL (n=15) and control (n=9). All groups completed one 50-minute familiarization session and two assessment sessions [pre-training (Apre) and post-training (Apost)] consisting of off- and on-ice assessments. The PP group received eight, 50-minute on-ice SPC training sessions.
Youth sports can be a learning experience or it can be a health risk to the athletes. Youth sports can teach young children the value of hard work and discipline or it can be emotionally and physically damaging. Three main points are how sports keep you healthy, how they build character, and the values that they will learn from sports and how they will use in the future. These three ideas prove that youth sports can be healthy, they build character, and can teach them the value of hard work and discipline for your kid.
Brazil sports teams are very successful due to the fact that they have some of the best coaches in the world. But the federations/institutions do not just hire anyone to coach, they want the best and require certain levels of education, licenses, and trainings; which adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Ministry of Education. Becoming a coach of a sports team in Brazil has many requirements, but most importantly ever coach in Brazil must obtain a coaching license under their respective sport institution or federation. In addition to a Bachelor’s degree, a coach much take several training courses and receive licenses depending on what level of sport they want to coach in. A Master’s degree is recommended as well as over 3 years of coaching experience.
Throughout an educational discourse, inclusion is a highly debated subject throughout the curriculum. During the past decade, there have been exceptional levels of funding and resources solely aimed at physical education and school sport within the United Kingdom (UK). The DFE suggests that 57% of children with SEND attend a mainstream school (DfES 2007). Physical Education (PE) has been a rising topic of discussion due to decrease in activity and an increasing level of child obesity within the UK(Coates and Vickerman 2009). There are various implemented strategies such as Physical Education School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) and Physical Education and Sports Strategy for Young People (PESSYP), which are instruments to ‘direct and guide practice and policies’ (Fitzgerald and Stride, 2012). Using these governmental strategies, schools try and challenge and attempt to increase participation and engagement with the aim of providing ‘high quality PE lessons’ (Griffin 2012), which targets the government initiative particular the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games to encourage an promote inclusive PE and school sport (Green 2009). Additionally, Fitzgerald and Stride (2012) distinguish on the concluding issue of inclusion should be recongised as part of a broader international concern to promote inclusive education (Forlin et al. 2008). There are various aspects, which are of high debate within inclusion regarding the national curriculum, initial teacher training and experiences of student and teachers.
Within this paper I will be discussing a research based Physical Education curriculum program known as SPARK P.E. SPARK stands for Sports, Play, Active, Recreation, for Kids and it strives to help improve the lives of young and adolescent children through exercise and fun activities. I will be discussing the goals of SPARK, the positives of the program, and the specifics into a few of the packages they offer to schools and various after school programs.
Moreover, teamwork skills are demonstrated through co-ed sports, however, continue to build into workforce environments, as well as communication skills. In society teamwork is displayed through a workforce where all the members work together to meet the requirements set up for them. An example of this is, at McDonalds, all the crew members and managers work as a team to meet the requirements of the customers. This is the same in co-ed sports, which would develop at a young age and be useful in careers later on in life. An example of this in co-ed sports is, in floor hockey teamwork is required in order for the team to be successful and win the game.
This research task requires that, through participation in skill learning and game play during the volleyball unit we have been required to observe and analyse the characteristics of skilled performers; receive feedback on weaknesses in technique and develop and participate in training activities that could correct these weaknesses.
Children who participate in sports are developing rapidly in sports skills, sportsmanship, and psychologically, but does this come from organized sports are just nature’s process. Children develop emotional and social benefits from participating in sports. Children experience character and leadership development through peer relations leading to an increase in self-esteem and a decrease in anxiety levels. Children will get opportunities to experience positive and negative emotions throughout their practice and games trials. It is important for the coach to understand the “psychology of youth sports and physical activity participation” (Weinberg & Gould, 2011 p.516).
When you become a teacher of any subject you use different styles of teachings that reflect you as a teacher and the lesson you are trying to teach. Sometimes it can be difficult to find what styles may work best in different situations. When teaching physical education the most helpful and beneficial styles are indirect, direct, and interactive teaching. These teaching styles are critical when trying to teach physical education because they are proven to be effective. These styles will help make you an effective teacher because of the way they allow you to control and manage the information being taught. When teaching physical education these styles when incorporate to your class make you a more affective teacher. These three styles allow you to accomplish different things in your class room and different types of teaching methods. These styles are important to not only know but to master, so you as a teacher can be effective.
A teaching philosophy is critical in my role as a future successful teacher. It will guide me in the way I conduct myself, how I develop curriculum, and how I establish order in my classroom. As a teacher it is important for me to be consistent with how I manage my classes. With a central philosophy as a backbone it will be easy to follow my own simple guidelines.
Sports are no longer being played for fun by young athletes, they are more competitive and intense. Youth sports are becoming too intense, due to the pressure that coaches and parents are putting on young athletes causing them to either get injured or to get tired of playing the sport. The amount of pressure that is put on these young kids makes the rate of kids quitting very high because of the expectations the have.
