These key stages typically include initial water comfort and basic confidence classes, mastering Freestyle with side breathing, and learning Breaststroke. It's essential to have your most experienced teachers guide students through these challenging points. The best teachers accelerating pupils progress at these times of struggles. This approach not only accelerates the progress, it has the customer become raving fans for your school.

Today is World Braille Day, and we want to celebrate that in honour of our students and our inspiring ambassador, Azeem Amir , whom we work closely with to educate people on this matter. We want to make sports inclusive to all, so here's some tried and tested tips to aid and adapt your sessions for children with visual impairments: • Use auditory cues like whistles, bells, verbal directions and communication. • Provide tactile markers on sports equipment and playing areas. • Use bright or contrasting colours so that equipment can be identified with more ease eg. Use dark cones on a light floor. • Offer adaptive equipment such as beeping/jingling balls or goal locators. • Encourage verbal communication among all students to keep everyone informed and involved. • Offer adaptive lessons that allow students to access a sports lesson from their peers point of view eg. Blindfolded activities. • Give children the opportunity to thrive, you will be surprised what they can accomplish when given the right environment to learn. Let's work together to make sports and physical education accessible and enjoyable for everyone! #InclusivePE #AccessibilityMatters #SportsForAll #disabilitysports #inclusivesports #sportsmatters #childrenssports #sportscoaching #inclusivity #adaptedsports #sports4all #edstartsportscoaching #EveryChildDeservesAnEDSTART

The Science of Speed Extract from the Pacelab Ltd. Foundation Module PACELAB PRINCIPLE OF 'SPEED FIRST' The greatest amount of bowling speed development is achieved between the ages of 7-12. In boys, this increase is most prominent from 7 to 9 years, while in girls it tends to occur slightly later. However, by ages 10-12, the rate of increase in fast bowling speed in both boys and girls begins to level off, and by ages 14-15, it reaches near maximum levels. The tempo of bowling speed development is typically higher in girls around ages 13-14 and in boys around ages 15-16. From ages 10 to 12, the tempo of improvement in bowling speed from muscular contractions increases. For instance, the improvements in bowling speed during this age group are most noticeable in the first 4 to 5 seconds of effort, which does not substantially change with further aging. Numerous studies in sports science have shown that elite fast bowlers can improve their speed in short bursts (bowling spells) of no more than 6 seconds. Beyond this, any further attempt to increase the tempo results in either stagnation or a decrease in performance. THE SPEED WINDOWS The growth dynamics in fast bowling speed begin at a very young age and extend through the older school years, following a wave-like progression. The first wave of significant improvement occurs around ages 8-10, while a second wave often emerges between ages 15-17. Between ages 11-14, the tempo of speed development slows significantly. For bowlers aged 13 to 18, further improvements in maximum bowling speed can be seen, according to research. The data shows that the tempo of improvement during this period is notably higher for boys than for girls. In summary, most experts agree that the greatest gains in fast bowling speed occur during puberty. This is true for both boys and girls during their adolescent years, as their bodies undergo significant physical changes. #TRUSTTHEPROCESS #RESPECTTHEPACELABPRINCIPLES
