Dear Coach

You are now an accredited ‘Community Coach’ and have done your

General Principles towards a Taekwondo Coaching Accreditation (or you

might already be a taekwondo coach) and we want to help you deliver

taekwondo in a Playing for Life style for the Active After Schools

Taekwondo Program.

Please find enclosed a week-to-week program for you to use as a guide in

your delivery of the AASC Taekwondo program for Primary Schools and

Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC) Organisations.

This guide is to assist you in developing a suitable program, depending on

the individual school requirements (class size, age group etc) and your

preferences. You do not have to stick to this but we hope it helps and

would like your feedback and suggestions.

Remember . . . the key is to make each lesson FUN and a POSITIVE

EXPERIENCE for the participating children.

Enjoy!

REMEMBER –

This is meant to be a guide for

teaching people

who know TAEKWONDO

about how to include games

into lessons to make the activity

more ‘fun’ oriented

and part of the

Australian Sports Commission’s

‘Playing for Life’ concept.

We have intentionally NOT

included instruction or

illustrations on

TAEKWONDO TECHNIQUES

and are relying on our coaches to

have a thorough understanding

of taekwondo.
