Understanding the cognitive and physical abilities in young children Developing fundamental motor skills Structuring lessons and programs Communication and organization with young players
1:00 pm – 5:00 pm: The afternoon’s Effective Large Group Coaching session will address the demands of teaching in schools and other large group settings.
