Coaching FUNdamentals for boys & girls 6-9 years of age
Coach co-ordinator, ECH & TAC
I am a level 3 athletics development coach and have coached various sports to various aged people for over ten years. I am keen to develop an athlete pathway within the club so that every coach is delivering appropriate activity for the age of each athlete. This is based upon the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model.
FUNdamentals is the first stage of the LTAD model and when delivered is as it suggests, FUN ATHLETIC ACTIVITY! Sessions will improve the balance, agility and co-ordination of participants at the critical age where children are most receptive to learning and can begin to develop physical literacy. Children will acquire the building blocks to progress into youth athletes. With an emphasis on FUN children will develop running, jumping and throwing techniques in an inclusive welcoming and friendly environment.
