The course introduces a number of generic strands that are applicable to all players, regardless of age, and these are consolidated during Module 3 of the award.
Course Content:
Theory: Workshops will consider age and maturity issues, different types of practice and the advantages and disadvantages of each, unopposed and opposed practice development, dealing with talented players and issues in planning and evaluating.
Practical Involvement: This is a practically based course. Different types of practices will be demonstrated and delivered and candidates will be expected to evaluate these practices as well as plan, deliver and evaluate their own practices. Candidates will be encouraged to take part and those not taking part will be expected to build on their evaluating and observation skills.
Assessment: The course has a formative assessment. This includes planning, delivery and evaluation of a practice. Candidates receive an action plan as a result of observations made by the tutor.
