coaches have described the Sports and Expanded Core Curriculum
Assessment as beneficial for seeing present levels of performance and
increasing their understanding of working with the athlete and decreasing
apprehension. These assessments have also started conversations with
PE teachers about unit and activity adaptations as well as adaptive
equipment available. Campers are empowered to advocate for accessible
equipment and teaching methods for themselves in the classroom and on
sports teams, such as a guide runner, commentated gameplay and
demonstrations, verbal cues, tactile modeling, audible equipment, and
tactile maps and diagrams. As we look forward to the future, we will be
expanding to adult sessions, sport specific high performance training
sessions, and many others. This will enable us to continue our impact on
campers and progress professional development.
