“The football session was really good, the pupils found it fun and engaging and were consistently encouraged by the coaches - positive praise was optimal. The coaches ensured they structured the lesson using short concise instructions and gave the pupils many water breaks on such a hot day, this worked extremely well for the pupils involved. The skills I noticed that pupils were working on supported them in many aspects of health and wellbeing. The pupils had an amazing time.”
