The last week of school (middle, grades 6-8) we don't do exams, we have a program called Year End Studies. I had been doing a YES hiking class with a couple of other teachers and it was great to get out of the building and share my love of the out doors. However, because of a situation beyond my control, I had to do something else, so I teamed up with our WR coach in our building to run a football class.
That's 31 mostly 7th and 8th boys for 3 full days and 2 half days. So other than lunch, we've got to find plenty of stuff to keep them occupied. I want to do a combination of inside and outside things. So far I've got these ideas:
INSIDE
- look at old rules and see how the game has changed
- compare the difference in rules of today's game between the NFL, college, and HS
- watch some older games/clips of games
- show some of 'our' stuff/chalk talk
- Madden playbook challenge
- HC is coming to speak
- one of asst. coaches is a HUGE electric football player, he going speak about it
- trying to get a referee to come and speak
OUTSIDE
- obviously play the game
- do a set of skills training and test
- some competitions
Anyone got an other ideas? I want to make sure that I over plan so that we don't have any down moments. Anyone want to enlist as a guest speaker?
