Program Description:
Youth sports programs provide an opportunity for participants to build social-emotional skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication. EsTeam provides strategies and activities that youth sports coaches and educators can use to easily incorporate social, emotional, and relational skill development.
Over the course of two days, participants will be introduced to the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model, identify learning goals for their own program, and leave with a plan to implement new activities with program participants.
Participants will participate in interactive presentations as well as designing activities and tools they can bring into their teaching/coaching practice. They will also have access to readings and videos where key concepts are introduced or reviewed.
Please note that this course is being taught in-person!
Program Fee: $100
