IVET Sport & Rec: Deliver Rec Sessions - E2 Session Types and Communication Techniques

In this episode, Zali and Sarah explore the five types of recreational sessions and the communication techniques leaders use with different participant groups. They cover how non-instructional leadership differs from coaching, the distinction between teaching, training, and coaching, and how communication shifts across five key situations depending on participant profile. Key Takeaways: - Five session types: non-competitive physical activity for leisure, games-based activities, after-school and holiday care programs, creative programs, and social interaction programs. - Recreation leaders facilitate enjoyment and participation, not technical skill instruction. - Teaching, training, and coaching are distinct approaches that may all be used within a single session. - Communication techniques adapt across five situations: establishing rapport, maintaining group cohesion, giving instructions, motivating participants, and providing feedback. - Each technique varies depending on participant profile, including children, adolescents, adults, older people, and people with disability.
