Module summary
This module builds on the learning from the module Community Football Coaching. Students continue to develop their knowledge and skills of coaching but must now apply these skills to sports other than football through the achievement of National Governing Body coaching awards. They learn how to apply the roles, responsibilities and skills they have acquired in their studies on football coaching to other sports in the GCSE PE National Curriculum. They learn how to apply their football coaching knowledge and skills to other sports and develop skills that would be beneficial to a multi-sports coach/physical education teacher.
Module aims
This module aims to develop the range of skills that students acquire in their development as coaches so that they understand the coaching requirements of sports other than football. Learners will become confident of teaching/coaching a variety of sports to a variety of age/ability levels and be able to plan a series of practical sessions relating to different sports. Learners will evaluate their performance in different sports, reviewing the effectiveness of their coaching and identifying future professional development.
