Teaching games for understanding coaching course – Dennis Slade, Massey University
This unique course presents a game based teaching and coaching alternative to traditional methods of coaching sport at primary level.
Dennis Slade is a Senior Lecturer in Physical Education at Massey University. Dennis has published several books and numerous articles on Game-sense and TGfU (Teaching Games for Understanding) and currently provides practical Game-sense workshops for various sporting organisations e.g., Netball New Zealand. His TGfU inspired CD-ROM Stick2hockey was officially adopted and distributed to all FIH affiliated hockey playing countries in 2010 as their small-sided games approach to teaching hockey to novices.
Who should attend?
All coaches can benefit from this course. Both new coaches, experienced coaches and those interested in coaching will benefit from learning how this approach can create a more positive first impression of sport than traditional skill based approaches.
What?
Understanding team formations, finding space and developing a wide external vision within game centred learning contexts
In this course the method of play practice will be employed to demonstrate teaching shape in games and to introduce coaches to tactical games that are fun and competitive and employ implicit learning concepts. In addition, issues of mandate coaching, mastery learning and individual goal setting will be discussed as a means of improving individual technique and making effective use of team practice time
