Sprint Starts & Agility with Kelly Sport Coaches

By Salote Rouvi | Posted: Thursday July 30, 2020

In term three our focus for our movement strand in PE is Athletics. We are super lucky to have expert assistance from our Kelly Sport Coaches working with both teachers and students at Tahuna.

Last week Year 8 classes and this week Year 7 classes have been put through their paces by the Kelly Sport Coaches.

The fantastic thing about having our coaches for each session is that all classes are taught consistent messages about Athletics.

Sessions consist of high intensity work with fun and engaging activities designed specifically to look at sprinting techniques, reaction time and levels of agility.

The game "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Cones" proved to be a popular game testing reaction times. Both agility and reaction times were tested requiring high energy from students.

We look forward to this work that will continue to the end of term 3.
