Just A Game Coach Education is led by Simon Roseingrave, one of the formative creators of the New Zealand Cricket Smash Play approach - Constraints-Led / Game Based Learning. Since departing NZC Simon has been exploring how to create both Sport Specific and Generic Coach Education opportunities.

All Just A Game staff are well-versed in these approaches and form part of the on-going support mechanisms (Coach Development) following on from the education.

Our Education Approach

A Practical Exploration of the WHY & HOW of Constraints Led Approaches (including Game Based Learning)

For: Organisations / Coaches / Teachers

Key concepts include:

  • Exploring Constraints, including environmental design and game creation / re-design.

  • Skill Adaptability and Acquisition - It’s OK to be different - the understanding of movement (aligned to debating the technique myth).

  • Participant Motivation - Everyone involved: enhancing exploration, self-discovery and
    self-achievement, mimicking the game.

  • Coach / Participant Connections (Let’s Have a Conversation)

  • Back-Yard and Peer to Peer Learning

  • Encouraging the Challenge of a Challenge

  • The Social Participant

    - Personal & Social Development / Connectedness (Social Models interwoven in sport – Mana Taiohi, Hellison, Te Whare Tapa Whā)
