FIFA 11+ Kids

What?
We had someone come in from NZ Football to take us through the 11+ KIDS warm up programme developed by FIFA. The 11+ Kids warm up is designed to be fun and effective for younger players to learn to move well and build upon their fundamental movement patterns for sport.

So what?

The 11+ KIDS is a brand new programme that has been proven to reduce injuries in our junior players (from 5-12 years old) up to 50%, as well as develop fundamental movements that form the basis of every athletic movement we do.

The 11+ is suitable for youth players up and is the most researched and validated programme in existence, book a refresher course to check up on technique and to develop a further understanding of the importance of keeping your players injury free, fast, fit and strong.

Hopefully using this programme will help build the fundamental movements for our athletes and also help reduce injury.

Now what?
Now that I have the knowledge of this programme I will take parts of it and combine it in not only my training sessions but also my PE lessons. I will combine with my knowledge and experience using the FIFA 11+ warm up which I learnt on a course last year at Waikato University.

Professional learning 

Use inquiry, collaborative problem solving and professional learning to improve professional capability to impact on the learning and achievement of all learners. 

• Inquire into and reflect on the effectiveness of practice in an ongoing way, using evidence from a range of sources. 

• Critically examine how my own assumptions and beliefs, including cultural beliefs, impact on practice and the achievement of learners with different abilities and needs, backgrounds, genders, identities, languages and cultures. 

• Engage in professional learning and adaptively apply this learning in practice. 

• Be informed by research and innovations related to: content disciplines; pedagogy; teaching for diverse learners, including learners with disabilities and learning support needs; and wider education matters. 

• Seek and respond to feedback from learners, colleagues and other education professionals, and engage in collaborative problem solving and learningfocused collegial discussions.
