TGFU - Back again

This term for TGFU (teaching games for understanding) we are running it similarly to our Touch Rugby last term except our sport is Basketball.

The class is split into 5 teams and each team has a coach, captain, and a manager. The coach plans their sessions and liases with the manager about the skills and drills (to begin with - ball handling). The manager is responsible for the organising and setting up of equipment while the captain is primarily in charge of team relationships and behavior.The coaches use the above books to plan their sessions and the first session was modelled by Miss F who showed the breakdown of activities and time management eg:

10 mins - warm up

5 mins - stretching

10 mins - skill focus

10 mins - skill reinforcement game

10 mins - warm down activity

The students are all working well together and cooperating as a team, it is great to watch and be a part of.

Stay tuned for more!!

TGFU - Final Match

During Term One we Studied Touch Rugby for Teaching Games For Understanding (TGFU). We had many great training and skill sessions. We focussed on Passing, Catching, Rules of the game and stepping. We then moved on to a class competition. Our 5 teams names were, Crusaders, Chiefs, Warriors, Speedos and The Cool People. The 2 top teams in the competition were the Crusaders who won 3/4 games and The Cool People who managed to win all of their 4 games. Here is a video of the final game between the Crusaders and The Cool People - Won 7-6 to The Cool People. The other teams cheered on from the sideline and called out encouragement to both teams. Also, 2 students from the other teams refereed the game.
