Coaching Video

Choosing a skill of your choice, from a sport of your choosing, you are to make a short coaching video at home. This video needs to be directed at a mixed ability group of Year 7 pupils and must introduce the skill in its most basic format before going on to show two progressions of the skill. Please use the breakdown below to help guide you. We will cover this extensively in our last taster session too.

• Aim of the task is to explore the difference between SKILL and TECHNIQUE (which you will study in Unit 4 on the course), as well as to see what your initial coaching skills are like. • Try and base your skill of choice not just on something you are confident in demonstrating/explaining, but also something you can practically do at home, with the space and equipment you have. • Ask a family member to film it for you - it only needs to be 10-15 minutes maximum. • Start by introducing the skill in its most basic format (remember you're coaching a Year 7 team of mixed ability players.) Try and narrow it down to 3-4 key technique points. • Following the skill introduction, go on to demonstrate two progressions - this could involve two different drills that require the skill to be performed correctly but challenges the players in different ways. If you have others available at home, these progression drills could involve a team mate or opposition. • During these progressions, you need to make it clear to the players what technique variations there are that differ from the 'textbook technique', and what is needed to perform these variations correctly. • When we return to school, we will watch these videos and prizes will be awarded for the best ones.

We look forward to seeing you in September and keep fit, healthy and active until then!
