Coaches and Referees

• The remainder of this Playbook is a guide to help get your creative juices flowing. Choose the most interactive method based on the players, equipment, and available space. The goal is to keep the players moving through physical or non-physical games. Board games and card games have many options, Skip-Bo, memory games, and animal cards; or you can create your own in class with the vocabulary. No one likes worksheets and written drills, so please don't add to what they have already done at home.
• Since practice makes permanent, engaging the players and the curriculum is vital in fun and creative ways. We know only some groups can afford to have balls or even the space to play a physical game. Make the possible out of the impossible. If you don't have room to run, play with small things around a table. Games help players engage with one another and the curriculum.
