4. to increase the children's knowledge of netball



5. understand the importance and practice of the session.

At the beginning of the session i firstly began by recapping last weeks session how we learned about passing and putting it into a little mess around game just so the children could show they understood the passing drill. after recapping last weeks session i explained what was to be completed in todays session explaining firstly about positions and the netball court.

The session that i have planned is a carry on session from the 1st session where i'll introduce footwork and the knowledge about positions and the netball court. Within the session the children must understand the rules of footwork, players may pivot on either foot but most always remain their first foot steady. As the players are only begginers they may shuffle their feet to stop and / or to regain balance, as long as no progress is made down the court. This is so that it is made clear that when they do it wrong they can be told but if you let them run down the court with the ball and let them get them away with it, they will think they can do it again.

It is aware that most carers would like their children to be active throughout their life. there are loads of concerns about health, crime and national wellbeing having brought sport and physical activity into political debate. It is also said that taught well, sport and physical education can develop traits such as self-esteem, leadership and teamwork which make sport a potential force for good. my sessions has always got one aim and that is for the children to enjoy the session and always have fun. ' Many people remember the fun of sport, while others with less enjoyable experiences might welcome a more logical approach to the development of their children' (Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) England netball)
It is known that the development of self-esteem is influenced by social interactions in the physical domain. (Weiss, M, Duncan, 1992)


The evaluation of the session shows that the majority of the children understood the concepts of footwork and knowledge of the sport. A few of the children did struggle on accepting these rules but hopefully with a few more sessions practicing they will get the concepts of footwork and rules of netball. This has proved that part of my personal outcomes was achieved, it also shows that i may need a little more practice in the sessions tho come with the children to make sure all of them understand and can perform the likes of footwork without any difficulty. Looking at footwork to make things easier for the children in the next session i will show them how to use the split landing, this is where the player can land both feet together so they have a choice to decide what foot to move.


The session was a great success for the children and myself as they all enjoyed it and had fun, as did i performing it. The players are warming up alot to the sport and on the way are making a good friendship with each other which is excellent for their social life aswell.
