Do the locomotion

P.E. Teacher and Sports Coach workshop

Guest presenter: Andy Stone, Physical education specialist and wrestling coach from Richmond, USA.

Venue: Willand, Devon. 1300-1600 Cost £35  Wednesday 13th July 2022

  • Do your athletes and pupils struggle to perform basic movements?
  • Are they having difficulty picking up new skills?
  • Are you exasperated about the lack of coordination in young people?
  • Do you want new ideas and progressions to help teach the next generation how to get better?

Then join James Marshall and Andy Stone for this 3-hour workshop.

These movement experts will show you the basic principles of locomotion and how to progress into complex combinations.

Why should I come to this?

You might think that crawling, walking, skipping and running are easy to do. They are if you do them in a straight line. Yet, this type of exercise is detrimental to the development of children and pupils and they know it: they get bored and stop.

By showing children how to move in many different ways you can encourage and enthuse your classes. They will get fitter through frequent exercise and a variety of movements.

The sequences you will learn on this course can serve as warm-ups for your ‘skill’ lessons and classes.

Putting the physical back into physical education

Two years ago, James and Andy both developed a series of videos to help children, teachers and parents stay fit during the lockdowns.

Here is one of Andy doing one of the many warm-up combinations that he uses before his school p.e. classes.

Imagine if your pupils could do these movements (and many more)?

And here is James showing some progressions along different pathways and directions:

Client Testimonials

Helen Farr
The access to expert advice on training and coaching in the STS has been extremely beneficial when guiding Helen (15) through different stages of her physical development. Time is very precious and especially as busy parents of even busier teenagers, we need all the help we can get. As well as following the programme, it has been really useful to dip into certain topics as and when situations occur. Advice on how to prevent and counteract knee problems was certainly helpful when Helen started complaining that ‘her knees were hurting’ directly after competitions.
