| Just for Kicks - Training Program for Children of All Abiliities |
| Due to limited opportunities and skill discrepancies, many children with disabilities don’t participate in sports programs. This presentation introduces an effective program that provides educators and coaches the “tools” to help children of all ability levels to successfully participate in recreational soccer programs. Presented activities and strategies will aid physical educators and youth coaches in giving children the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to play! Session is designed to teach attendees how to isolate skills so children can perform skills effectively. Discover a program for use in school or community to promote meaningful, active lifestyles. |
