1. Coach beginner or novice participants to develop fundamental motor skills
SISSSCO202

2. This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop fundamental perceptual motor skills of beginner or novice participants as a precursor to sports coaching.
This unit applies to those conducting coaching activities suited to beginner and novice sports players in a variety of sporting contexts.

3. 1. Design a program to develop fundamental perceptual motor skills.
1.1. Assess readiness of participants and select activities and drills with consideration to stage of physical growth and maturity.
1.2. Identify and assess constraints and risks associated with delivering the training session according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures.
1.3. Incorporate inclusive practices
1.4. Identify and confirm resources and specific learner support requirements for the training.
1.4. Develop delivery methods and practice schedules that are appropriate to learning a physical skill and to the needs of different participants

4. 2. Deliver program.
2.1. Select coaching methods appropriate to participant needs and to development of physical skills.
2.2. Match coaching methods to novice or beginner participant characteristics.
2.3. Present, sequence and pace information according to the needs of participants and session timeframes.
2.4. Apply presentations and clear communication methods that are suited to the learning needs of participants.
2.5. Observe and monitor progress and manage group behaviour to promote cooperation and good relationships
2.6. Devise skill development progression and regression activities according to the needs of individuals and groups.
2.7. apply risk management principles to minimize risk of injuries and address specific individual safety needs.
2.8. implement incident management procedures to deal with any minor injuries

5. 3. Review the session
3.1. seek feedback from participants and others on effectiveness of the session.
3.2 Identify modifications to future sessions based on feedback
3.3. Design links to next session to develop or progress skill.

6. What are Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills?
Fundamental perceptual motor skills (FPMS) are the building blocks of sport
Fundamental motor skills are movements that have specific observable patterns. They include:
-Locomotor skills such as running, jumping, hopping, galloping, rolling, leaping and dodging;
-Manipulative skills such as throwing, catching, kicking, striking and trapping and
-Stability skills such as balance, twisting, turning and bending.

7. A fundamental motor skill involves the basic elements of a particular movement. It does not emphasise the combining of a variety of fundamental motor skills into complex skills such as the layup in basketball or a serve in tennis.
Early purposeful play experiences lead to FPMS and an opportunity for children to participate and develop in sport

8. What do they look like?
Fundamental movement skills look like this

9. Activity Think of TWO sports.
Write down all the fundamental skills needed for a successful performance in these sports.
( Do table in work book)

10. Importance of Fundamental motor skills to sport

12. 1.Design a program to develop fundamental perceptual motor skills.

13. 1.1. Assess readiness of participants to and select activities and drills with consideration to stage of physical growth and maturity
Activity: What factors do you need to consider when assessing the readiness of beginner or novice participants to be able to plan appropriate sessions? *

14. Previous activity sample answers
growth rates
developmental stages
heat tolerance and hydration
physical ability
social characteristics
Injury and incapacity.
attention spans.
Activity: Pick 2 of the above factors and using ½-1 page explain why they need to be considered when coaching junior players.

15. Definition of constraint: A limitation or restriction.
1.2. Identify and assess constraints and risks associated with delivering the training session according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures.
Definition of constraint: A limitation or restriction.
Constraints may include:
access to industry experts, sporting facilities and equipment
access to practice opportunities
budget and time requirements
numbers and groupings of players.
Activity:
See work book and complete table on how these constraints can impact the ability of a coach to deliver a training session.

16. Risks may Include:
inappropriate facilities and or equipment
Adverse weather
Environment
Other Users
inadequate equipment or resources
inappropriate coaching methods.
Activity:
Briefly explain how each of the above can contribute to risks when planning/delivering a training session.

17. Jot down points from your discussion in your work book
Discussion: Why are the following elements of legislation important for coaches and clubs to be aware of?
Relevant legislation may include:
Work health and safety
Child Protection
Anti discrimination
duty of care
mandatory reporting
negligence
waivers and exclusion clauses
privacy.
Jot down points from your discussion in your work book

18. Organisational policies and procedures may include:
Work health and safety
use and maintenance of equipment and resources
time and budget requirements
behaviour management
code of ethics.

19. 1.3 incorporate inclusive practices in session design
Inclusive practices may be relevant to:
Culture
Gender
Age
disability

20. 1.4. Identify and confirm resources and specific learner support requirements for the training.
Activity: Identify a range of resources that may be used to support the learning and development of beginner or novice participants in a sport of your choice. *

21. These may be related to:
specific facilities and venues
accessibility and availability of appropriate equipment and technology.
Size of fields/ courts
Size of goals
Size of playing equipment

22. 1.5. Develop delivery methods and practice schedules that are appropriate to learning a physical skill and to the needs of participants.
The following coaching methods may be used to plan and execute a training session.
explanation and demonstration
drills, games and other activities
structured practice opportunities – eg massed vs distributed
behaviour management
Progressive ( building on previous learnt skills with more challenging activities as previous ones are mastered) and
regressive skill development activities (making activities less challenging where needed to support learning)
guided discovery approaches.

23. Activity
In pairs you will research the following coaching methods. Complete the table in your workbook.
Massed vs distributed practice
Guided discovery approach
Pairs will be randomly chosen to report their findings to the group

24. 2. 2. Deliver the Session& 3 Review the Session:
The Assessment Event will allow students to demonstrate performance criteria from the above TWO elements
Student work books have an appendix at the back which will help students plan and deliver the assessment event.
The appendix includes:
Considerations when planning
Assessment techniques
Sample assessment recording sheets
Performance criteria for a range of relevant FMS
Sample activities for a range of relevant FMS

25. Breakdown of task Students will be given a FMS
Students will develop a pre-test, administer it and record results.
Using information students will develop a 3 week program with the aim of improving the FMS they were given.
Students will need to consider risks and constraints
Students will re -administer the pre-test and evaluate their program.
