Through teamwork, leadership and personal growth, we create a positive environment where every learner can build confidence, enjoy movement and reach their potential.
Our approach
WEsports pedagogy
Sports pedagogy is a discipline of sport science that focuses on educational processes via exercise, movement, play and sport.
WHY IS PEDAGOGY IMPORTANT?
Having a well-thought-out pedagogy improves the quality of our teaching and the way learners learn, helping them gain a better
grasp of fundamental knowledge and skills. Being mindful of the way coaches teach helps them better understand how to help
learners achieve meaningful learning.
Purpose of learning
For a young beginner, participation in sport should be viewed as a learning journey – it begins with a purpose.
Naturally, in order to sustain interest, young children need to enjoy the sport. Together with fun-play elements, we nurture interest in
sports by improving performance. When children play better progressively, it helps to spur their interest in the sport to the next level.
In any sport, learning involves not only improving physical dexterity. Learners need to be well-motivated and knowledgeable.
At WESPORTS, we adopt a holistic approach to training.
holistic approach
Cognitive, psychomotor & affective domains
At WESPORTS, our holistic approach aims to:
1. Improve learning and performance;
2. Support motivation;
3. Promote positive social and emotional growth.
To achieve these goals, we emphasise effective coaching behaviours and healthy environments that support children’s and youths’ social, emotional, athletic and cognitive development.
monitor progress
Each learner is given a ‘Monitor Progress Booklet’. Based on observations and experience, qualified coaches are trained to
make objective and reliable interim progress assessments. The learner’s progress will be monitored periodically, in tandem with
each cycle of the lesson plan. Progress assessment includes assessing the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains of
each learner.
Monitoring learners’ progress is important because:
1. It allows the coach to understand the strengths and weaknesses of individual child/youth.
2. It allows the coach to reconcile what was planned for training and what was achieved.
3. It leads to effective communication between learners/parents and coaches.
4. Information gathered will be used to prepare for the next step of the training program.
Ultimately, monitoring the holistic learning progression enhances a child’s self-efficacy and leads to practices that improve performance.
