Can We Play A Game?

🎮 Can We Play a Game?
An interactive workshop for coaches, teachers and volunteers working with children and young people.
"Can we play a game?"
It's a question every coach has heard countless times.
But what if children are asking us a better coaching question than we realise?
This practical and interactive workshop explores how purposeful play and game-based coaching can create more engaging, enjoyable and effective learning experiences for young players.
Together we'll challenge the idea that games are simply a reward at the end of a session and instead explore how games can become the learning itself.
You'll leave with practical ideas, coaching games and simple principles that you can take straight into your very next session.
Whether you coach football, another sport or work with children in education, you'll discover how small changes to your coaching can have a big impact on player engagement, decision making and enjoyment.
During the workshop we'll explore:
⚽ Why games aren't the reward—they're the learning.
⚽ The power of purposeful play.
⚽ How to design better coaching games.
⚽ Small-sided games that maximise learning.
⚽ Simple ideas you can use immediately.
This is an interactive workshop, so expect discussion, practical activities and plenty of opportunities to share ideas with other coaches.
Because coaching shouldn't just develop better players. It should create better experiences for every child.
This event is currently in the planning stage.
If enough coaches register their interest, ticket sales will open and the workshop will go ahead.
