What is Sports Education?
Sports Education brings educational principles and practices into the sports development area.
Traditional sports training involves relatively unstructured coaching plans with often short term goals and objectives. Sessions are predominantly skill focused with the aims of each session about winning the next game or a coach's search for the next elite athlete.
Sports Education however, has a broader mandate with a focus on educational outcomes, as well as talent development. It is curriculum based teaching providing for a structured, comprehensive and sequential program covering all areas of the sport.
Consequently, Sports Education's broad-based education principles are aimed at developing young people through sport.
