Attending a new club, activity or session can be a daunting experience for children. Children can feel pressured and anxious about joining new things they unfamiliar with, causing them to exclude themselves from trying new things. An example of this is joining an activity group for the first time. Active Essex have created a guide to help coaches reduce the anxiety felt amongst children ahead of their first session. Following these steps coaches can turn anxious feelings into excitement and motivation for children to try something new at your session.
For Anti Bullying Week we have created a worksheet to promote good sporting and everyday behaviour. Using the downloadable worksheet, colour in the School Games Values; ‘Respect’, ‘Honesty’ and ‘Teamwork’ and write up a sentence for each letter that promotes kind behaviour to your peers, teammates, coaches, teachers and families. For example, the ‘T’ in Teamwork could read: ‘Teamwork makes the dream work’ Be sure to upload your completed Anti-Bullying Worksheets on social media.
You can tag @ActiveEssex on Twitter or Facebook and use the hashtag #EssexAntiBullyingWeek.
