To create my scheme of work, I assessed the children in accordance to their fitness levels. The assessment was an informal judgement process along with an interview with the main coach, who told me where the participants were at. Therefore I could plan my lessons around this and formulate my scheme of work. I have based my sessions around my coaching philosophies, incorporating fun elements, focusing mainly on technique and trying to cater to every persons needs. The long term goal for my placement is to introduce diverse ways of coaching sprint and enhancing technique within the whole group.
