Younger Teenager - All ability - Mixed - Loreto (9)

Games Coaching encourages players to not use superior technical and athletic skills and play to grow the 3rd skill. To play to connect our thinking and our movement to co-create something - we can't yet see - from the space between us. When players have the 3rd skill they know they can find a way - even if - especially if - they can’t yet see it. We unearth our inner Steph Curry.

Players make their own micro decision without knowing what will happen. Then switch to their mind's eye to a helicopter view - to see how their micro decisions impacted the space between everyone. And then make another micro decision. And so on. Micro decisions ripple across the team as everyone connects their thinking and their movement to co-create something - we can’t yet - from the space between us. It’s a calming, slowing, feeling of meaningful connection as an effortless,  flowing, rhythmic, pattern emerges where we achieve something we can't yet see.

What players and parents think

• We went to the most amazing basketball session in  Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles  to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session  took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time,  his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
• A young players - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
• A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
