Course Outline

This full-credit course was designed to focus on sport experiences through a Teaching Games for Understanding model that is a means to provide students with more enjoyment as they get to play modified games (in this course, sports-related games) in conjunction with learning the skills and tactics. Throughout this course, modified sports games will be taught within four categories (invasion/territory, target, net/wall, and striking/field). The emphasis throughout this course is on the tactical and strategic game play (the first module) whereby students make appropriate decisions in modified sports setting. This course also includes an additional two modules, interwoven within the first module, which focus on fostering life skills through sport and looking critically at the nature of sport and society, including injustices that often coincide within the context of sport.
