Coaching Tip of the Week 1/12/2010
Are your parents and volunteers reading the Battle books? Why not stage a "mock" battle pitting kids vs. adults?? Use the questions made up by your kids (or the practice questions given to you), and hold a competition during one of your normal practice times. The kids will have fun beating the tar out of their parents ('cause you know that's how it will go down), and they'll get more comfortable with the official battle format. Order some pizza to make it a special event, and invite spectators. Happy coaching!

Kerri,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the helpful suggestions! Our 3rd/4th grade team played charades last week and had a great time. It helped me to see what parts of the books the kids thought important enough to act out and it helps team members remember scenes when they can visualize them.

Thanks Susan! Glad your kids had fun!
