Work begins on training materials for coaches
As part of the STEPS project, work has begun on training materials that will help coaches from different sports apply structured methods for developing fundamental movement skills in their work with children.
The materials will include practical exercises and activities that can be applied directly in regular training, together with short videos featuring adult demonstrators — clear and understandable without narration, so they can be used in all partner countries. Particular attention is paid to inclusion and to adapting exercises for children with developmental difficulties.
“The exercises have to be usable straight away — at the very next training session, without extra equipment or complicated instructions.”
The materials will be available in English and in all partner languages, and once they are completed, more than 120 coaches in Croatia, Bulgaria and Slovenia will be trained.
