The programme also teaches the NFL values of respect, resilience, responsibility and integrity as well as the importance of leading healthy, active lifestyles including physical activity and emotional wellbeing.
The NFL Flag Football curriculum is designed to be used in key stage two and three. Lessons include a combination of individual, small and large group skill development activities and give opportunities for applying and demonstrating these skills in small-side and conditioned versions of flag football games. The programme of activities helps pupils to meet the physical education aims of the current national curriculum for PE.
It can help pupils: develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities; engage in competitive sports; be physically active for sustained periods of time; lead healthy, active lives.
Flag Football is a non-contact (five-a-side), modified version of the contact 11-a-side version of American Football that can be played by all children. It is an invasion game: players, wearing flag belts, invade each other’s space to score touchdowns and make conversions. Unlike the contact 11-a-side version, kicking, tackling and blocking are not permitted. Instead of tackling, an opposing player pulls the player’s flag which brings the attack to an end.
Windlesham House School (NFL hub for the south-east), which is between Washington and Findon, is excited to be hosting the Sussex NFL Flag tournament which is being held on Tuesday 23 May – kick off at 11am.
There will be awards and a trophy for the winners. The boys and girls taking part are really excited as the winning team from each group will be able to play for a place in the national tournament in Loughborough.
Last year’s national tournament winners from Little Ealing Primary School were treated to a fantastic trip to Las Vegas to play in the Las Vegas Raiders stadium.
Hi! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask. Does running a well-established blog like yours take a massive amount work? I’m completely new to blogging but I do write in my diary on a daily basis. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
