American Football in Asia–Pacific PE (Recapture the Super Bowl Hype in Your Classes)
Sports & Coaching
Bangkok 2024
Have your students suddenly become more interested in American Football following the hype surrounding Super Bowl 58? If so, come along to this practical session to uncover several fun ways of incorporating American Football into your school’s PE program/lessons. Throughout the session, you will get to practice playing, teaching and officiating ‘PE friendly’ variations of American Football, including Flag Football, and our own creation, “Touch Gridiron”, which we have developed based on the rules of Touch Football (Touch Rugby League). This ‘Touch’ version has become a big hit at our school, as it can be played by mixed classes, and resembles the faster pace of other Australian/Asia–Pacific Invasion Games. After exploring these variations through game play and offensive/defensive scenarios, we will also introduce you to the modified equipment we use, and how we build SEPEP units around American Football.
