As Jessica Ennis was in college, we had to deliver an athletics circuit to 40 children from Abercrombie school and Christ Church school.
A few kids turned up early, as we didn't want them sitting around gettin bored, we gave them brief demonstrations of the circuit to familiarise them with it.
As everybody turned up, we gave a 5 minute warm up. We played Simon says, 3 of us demonstrated it, the rest joined in making the kids feel comfortable. This warm up was successful as the kids enjoyed it, nobody was sat out and it prepared them.
My group delivered hurdles which we had 10 minutes to do. We firstly introduced ourselves and got to know them. We then explained and demonstrated the key techniques and got them to copy us. We then allowed them to practice jumping over cones so they could learn the techniques. After 2 minutes, we teamed them up then introduced them to the practice hurdles. We allowed them to have one practice go. After this we did races, this was successful as the children enjoyed the competetiveness.
We did this 5 other times for the other groups.
As coaches, we was successful as we demonstrated, joined in, introduced ourselves, got to know the children and we did a lot of encouraging and congratulating (e.g. Clapping) which gave them confidence.
