Practical resources for your pedagogical work
Teachers play an essential role in children’s lives, as they often spend more time with you than their own families. You are the child’s first point of contact with the broader organised community, a source of inspiration and a key role model. Children observe your every move and absorb your words like sponges, which is why their earliest experiences in physical education tend to stay with them. For many, sports class becomes one of their favourite activities in both kindergarten and school, and for some, it may be the only form of physical activity they engage in during the day. However, preparing for these classes, especially with large groups, can be challenging. Children are motivated in different ways, possess a variety of physical capabilities and have distinct needs.
The Child in Sports programme aims to support you by providing content that will help you understand the varying physical abilities of children, offer tools for planning engaging and effective sports activities and equip you with practical resources for your pedagogical work.
