Family pickleball: How to play with parents and children together

The starting point

The material is intended for parents, family clubs and coaches who want to conduct a joint lesson for participants of different ages

Verification criteria

• pick up rackets by size and weight
• agree on simplified rules
• give each person a personal task
• alternate
• finish off

Решение по шагам

Начните с общих заданий на контроль мяча, затем разделите сложность. Ребёнку можно уменьшить дистанцию подачи или разрешить дополнительный отскок в учебной игре, взрослому — ограничить силу и направлять мяч в заданную зону. Парные задания лучше строить против общей цели: серия из десяти ударов, попадание в мишени, совместное продвижение к кухне. Соревнование вводится только после успешного сотрудничества.

Describe the initial situation with facts, not estimates: what is now, what should change, what should not be done, at which point the choice of method is postponed, otherwise it replaces the task

Start with three checkspick up rackets by size and weight; agree on simplified rules; give each person a personal task.

Testing by practice

A result is achieved if it can be called a number or a testable fact, and it is useful to fix a value before it starts: without a starting point, any change looks like a success

When the approach is not appropriate

The conditions under which the solution worked should be written down with the solution itself, and on a different site, different composition, or larger scale, the test should be repeated

Weaknesses

The biggest mistake is for an adult to play at full strength and fix the child all the time, which reduces initiative and turns rest into control, and you don't have to compare children to each other or judge the activity by the score alone

Что делать дальше

Запишитесь на закрытый семейный формат и заранее укажите возраст детей, спортивный опыт и число участников, чтобы тренер подготовил разные уровни заданий.

Outcome

Reduce the plan to one step with a clear deadline and a responsibility, and it only makes sense to scale it up once the first step has produced measurable results
