Hey y’all
I’m a new rec coach about to coach my first couple of classes pretty soon, and I’m working on lesson plans for a 70 minute class of 5 year olds (8 of them). I don’t have a lot of experience with this age group, any general advice / tips would be appropriated!
A few specific questions for anyone who’d be able to answer them -
Is it safe for this age group to use beatboards? I see varying opinions on this online… my plan is to use them for a squat on to stacked boxes as a vault station
Is it beneficial to have multiple focuses on a station? For example on floor, for the second week my plan is a lot of jumps and safety landings —would it be a good idea to add some stations into the circuit for basic shapes and gymnastics positions?
Thanks
