Why must a primary school teacher change rules when coaching sport
❖ Children cannot play according to adult rules/use their equipment
❖ Children’s physical size and proportions are changing constantly & rules need
modification.
❖ Modifications include decreasing playing area, goals, playing times & smaller
teams.
❖ Changes will increase level of success/achievements which in turn, will have
a good effect on children’s self-image. This will then encourage them to
continue participating in sport.
Two defence mechanism against increase in core temperature:
▪ Sweating response: the athlete sweats profusely to control their body
temperature.
▪ Vasolidation response: The altering of blood flow through the skin, makes
face turn red.
Procedure to prevent injuries:
- Warm ups
- Stretching
- Cooldowns
- Fitness – good conditioning
- Protective devices
- Safe playing areas
- Obedience to rules
Recreation: Voluntary activity that is beneficial to the participant, recreation, by its
very nature, is undertaken during leisure or free time.
,Liability: The acceptance of risk provides a defence against liability in certain
dangerous activities. This includes the person who is responsible for some cases.

The three stages of learning and their characteristics of the athlete are in each
stage:
Stage 1- The beginning stage
Characteristic: Athletes need to know what it is they are trying to achieve.
Stage 2- The intermediate stage
Characteristic: The athlete develops due to regular practice according to the motor
programme that was initiated in the beginning stage.
Stage 3- The advanced stage
Characteristic: Athletes can maintain a high level of performance in a variety of
competitive environments.
What are the implications of each stage for the coach?
Beginning stage
• Introduce each skill with clear, simple and short explanations.
• Allow the learner to practise the skill by himself or herself.
• Help the child to concentrate on one or two main parts of the skill.
• Provide continuous and positive feedback throughout the beginning phase of the
skills.
• As the child begins to understand how to perform the skill, gradually stress more
form.
Intermediate stage
• Provide numerous practice activities that require increased levels of skill
performance.
• Provide appropriate coaching hints and suggestions throughout practice activities
and lead-up games.
• Gradually increase the rate until the skill is performed to the speed required in the
mature form of the activity.
• Stress short practice sessions with frequent breaks, rather than long practice
sessions with few breaks.
• Stress practice sessions and lead-up activities that are performed with small groups
and that require maximum participation.
Advanced stage
• Provide practice sessions that improve form, style and accuracy.
• Provide more qualified coaching techniques, including better skills analysis and
effective motivation devices.
, • When plateaus are reached, encourage the learner to experiment with new ideas or
a change of pace.
• Doggedly continuing without improvement or satisfaction may cause a regression in
skill performance.
• Provide greater variety and more intensity in practice sessions, lead-up activities
and in official sport, dance or gymnastic contents.
Two methods used to teach simple skills?
❖ Imitation
- Athletes must focus on what is to be imitated/copied. They should watch/try it,
remember & practice it.
❖ Demonstration/Exlanation/Practice/Correction:
- Allows for further practice & correction in more detail. Provides information
while practice continues.
Two methods for teaching complex skills:
❖ Shaping method: making an action simpler
❖ Chaining method: breaking the skill into simpler parts. Chain the skill
together. A complex skill is made up of a number of simple, distinct parts. A
part is a link in the chain.
Teaching sports involve 4 steps:
✓ Brief introduction
✓ Precise, clear explanations
✓ Practice time
✓ Feedback
