DEVELOPING THE ENVIRONMENT
The Developing the Environment’ theme centres around creating a safe, inclusive, and fun environment for your players. For the vast majority of people who play the game, it is a fun, leisure activity for all ages, to be enjoyed. We can all help our players enjoy the game more, by creating the right environment. By allowing them to play with freedom. By letting them make mistakes. By encouraging them to make their own decisions. For some further information, click below for more information.
developing the practice
The ‘Developing the Practice’ theme explores best practice coaching sessions which can be adapted to meet the age and stage of your players. The events will see coach educators demonstrating how they design the practices and develop the session in line with their intended learning outcomes. The events will highlight key technical and tactical knowledge and application for coaches to apply within their coaching context. For some further information, click the link below.
