This presentation explores the critical components of movement and positioning in tennis, with a focus on developing these skills across different stages of junior development: Red, Orange, and Green. It emphasizes the importance of teaching balance, proper stances, ball control, and movement patterns to ensure players can effectively cover the court, execute accurate shots, and recover efficiently.

In this presentation, we will explore effective strategies for establishing and managing a successful Physical Education (PE) department in a bilingual school setting in China.

Participants will take part in fun games while experiencing different strategies found within the Meaningful Physical Education (MPE) framework, emphasizing creating enjoyable, personally relevant, and socially connected PE experiences.

You will learn the foundation vaults of parkour and how to combine them to create 'flows' of movement over a string of obstacles, which is one of the most exhilarating and enjoyable movement activities for young people - and for you!

In this workshop, we will explore a sequence of learning progressing Touch football from simple to complex games using a non-linear approach to deliberate play. How to vary the game form so the sequence can be used for non-contact modified ‘walla’ Rugby (Union) and tag Rugby League will also feature. 

This interactive talk will encourage participants to reflect on our social identities and how these influence our decisions in the classroom and beyond.

This session will provide an overview of the Sports Leadership provision offered as both an elective course, and as part of mainstream PE here at The Alice Smith School.

Welcome to the exciting world of Mini-Volleyball! This session introduces you to a modified version of volleyball: played on a smaller court with a lower net and no more than 4 players per side. The game reinforces 3 passes and ensures all players rotate around the court, focusing on fundamentals and rally gameplay.

What does it mean and how can it transform the way you coach? Come sit in and find out. The reality is that the majority of the world's current coaches grew up in a different era.
