Lesson Plans Introduction The following section provides twenty-seven ready-to-implement lesson plans for teachers. The section is divided into four smaller sub-sections. • Early Stage 1 (5 year olds) • Stage 1 (6/7 year olds) • Stage 2 (8/9 year olds) • Stage 3 (10 years and LAANSWabove) ASAP Level 3 Each sub-section contains lesson plans suitable for children in these age groups. The lesson plans assume classes of up to thirty students and a time limit of 30-45 minutes, however a teacher can adapt the ideas to suit their particular circumstances. Each lesson plan generally follows the same format, being: Aim; Equipment; Warm Up; Skill Development; Games. In relevant places, topics such as safety aspects and various hints that will help the teacher organise and conduct a successful lesson are included. The lesson plans at times assume prior learning, ie. that the children have participated in the skill development activities contained in preceding lessons designed for the earlier levels. The activities featured in the lesson plans are based on fun, skill development, maximum group participation and a sound, logical progression. The lesson plans form the foundation of a class athletics unit. 3 29 Early Stage 1 Lesson Plans • Running - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 • Jumping - Lesson 1 - LessonLAANSW 2 ASAP Level 3 • Throwing - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 30 Early Stage 1 Running Lesson Plan Lesson 1 Introduction to basic running technique Introduction to relays Ground markers x 30 Relay batons x 5 Warm Up 1.

An Overview Little Athletics: an Overview
Little Athletics: An Overview Little Athletics: An Overview History of Little Athletics The Beginning Little Athletics evolved, like most voluntary community organisations, through the mind and conscience of one man. Trevor Billingham following the pattern set by many pioneers in the field of community service, recognised a need and introduced an idea designed to meet that need. On an October day in 1963 three boys turned up at an athletics meeting in Geelong. They were ready to compete. On approaching an official they were told that they were too young to take part. The official was Trevor Billingham. This disappointment, evident in the boys, left a marked impression on his mind. The thought was temporarily forgotten. It came alive again several months later. At a coaching clinic designed for secondary school students it was noted that the majority of children were of primary school age. Reminded of his earlier experience, Trevor Billingham had the gem of an idea. The answer to the need expressed in the children could be a simple Saturday morning competition. On the first Saturday of October 1964…. he met with a small group of children on a Geelong oval. They took part in a short program of running events. From that simple beginning, athletics for boys and girls developed at a phenomenal rate… LITTLE ATHLETICS WAS BORN…. AND ON THE MOVE. Little Athletics created tremendous interest. By 1967 the Victorian Little Athletics Association was formed. Within five (5) years there was an Australia Little Athletics Union. Today, more than 150,000 children regularly participate at Little Athletics Centres in every State in Australia.
