Idiot's Guide to PE - Sports Drills and Games

A portfolio of a wide range of sports, with each sport having it’s own dedicated pages that explain things such as:

• Main teaching points
• Drills or conditioned games ideas
• Equipment specifications
• Pitch layouts
• Basic tactics
• Game rules

(Please note, not EVERY sport has EVERY one of the things above. Guides for sports such as Basketball cover more skills and tactics, whereas athletics covers equipment specs, track layouts, world record, and a brief description of how you could teach each discipline, but all of them contain lots of useful information that I still use now many years on from qualifying as a teacher. )

These ‘idiot guides’ are ideal for people early on in their career, or for anyone starting to teach any of these sports where they don’t have a lot of experience. These will not be relevant for experienced teachers who are looking for more advanced drills but would be ideal for ITT, ECT or less confident staff who may want to try and upskill themselves in a new sport.

These were put together from my own experience of teacher training and a wide range of level 1 and 2 NGB coaching courses. Each different sport has things that I found particularly useful and drills that I still use now, or modified versions of these.
