Planning a Session

For the next task, you are to plan a session on a sport of your choice which you will deliver next term to a group of approximately 10 year 7/8s.

You must include the following in your plan:

• Warm-Up
• 2 drills on a specific skill
• A conditioned game

Your plan must also show how your session will be organised and include coaching points for the drills.

Legal Factors and Regulatory Bodies

To attain P2 you must describe the legal factors and the regulatory bodies that influence health and safety in sport. To do this, use the following headings and describe them in your own words. Reading for this chapter can be found in the Assessing Risk in Sport folder on the shared area:

Legal Factors

• Law (Statutory Law, Case Law and Civil Law)
• In Loco Parentis
• Duty of Care
• Negligence

Regulatory Bodies

• Local Authorities
• Local Education Authorities

• National Governing Bodies of Sport

Year 13: Writing up your session plans

As discussed yesterday, the flexibility session is unique in that the format needs to ensure that you explain the different type of stretches that can be completed and detail the theory behind each of them (also including examples and diagrams). For the other sessions, you may wish to use the following sub headings:

Athlete Profile - a brief description of the athlete, main sport, short and long-term goals. This is improtant as their profile will determine the type and intensity of the exercises you include in your session plan

Warm Up - this should be appropriate activities which include a pulse raising activity and a stretching section

Main Activities - You should include details of each exercise you want your athlete to complete including appropriate times, intensities etc

Cool Down

Theory and Justification of Chosen Activities - in this section you begin to fulfill the 'merit' criteria as you explain your reasoning for selecting the activities featured above. You should refer to your notes from James' presentation and make reference to the needs of your athlete.

You have until Thursday 12th December to complete these sessions before our next presentation with James. The session will not be on this Thursday as I will be at a Table-Tennis tournament.
