Melbourne Victory School of Football

MV School of Football comes to the classroom

Lesson Plans

For Week 6 of the program, students tacked a football-related numeracy task in the classroom and worked on their one-on-one skills on the pitch with various game-sense activities. School of Football sessions incorporate SWPB proactive strategies. Positive narration is used to impact attendance, respectful relationships, and engagement, and football-themed settled starters, learning intentions and success criteria are used to promote a safe and consistent environment.

Attendance

The all-girls meeting last Monday allowed for targeted promotion of the School of Football as well as other programs at JFC. As a result we had 10 additional girls trial in Week 6. The reduced cost of the program and a concerted effort to recruit new students has impacted attendance.

Year 7 Boys - 18 students

Year 7-10 Girls - 16 students

Year 8-10 Boys - 14 students

Collaboration

Working in the classrooms with students allows the coach to explore ways to apply the skills learned in the MV program to the classroom and make links between succeeding at football and enjoying the classroom.

Looking ahead to Term 2, we welcome the opportunity to work with Domain teams to link School of Football lesson plans to current units of work as well as work with students on an individual basis.
