Grassroot Soccer SKILLZ COVID 19 RESPONSE Curriculum Practice 3 Focus

Описание: Grassroot Soccer developed the SKILLZ COVID-19 RESPONSE curriculum in March 2020 to help address the COVID-19 pandemic. This video provides an overview of Practice 3: Focus. In this practice, players learn simple breathing techniques to help them calm down and focus, especially during times of uncertainty. Players then become aware of how often they touch they their faces through a short competition.

Please note: these videos were filmed prior to mask guidelines being issued in all areas; we encourage individuals to follow current public health guidelines around wearing masks.

The full curriculum is available free and open-source on our website, www.grassrootsoccer.org/resources. We encourage you to access the curriculum and to view all the practice videos available on our YouTube channel as well. This sport-based tool is a way for coaches, educators, and parents to easily facilitate fun, simple, and effective sessions with young people (ages 10-19). The curriculum aims to increase comprehensive knowledge on COVID-19, promote healthy behaviors such as proper handwashing, provide skills for mental wellbeing during stressful times, and dispel common myths about the disease. Use this SKILLZ COVID-19 RESPONSE curriculum to connect with young people either in schools or the classroom (if deemed safe by local health authorities) or remotely through video-conferencing and WhatsApp (where available). Parents and caregivers can also use this tool to provide COVID-19 education to children at home.
