Let’s Play: Props!
Bring the fun back into your rec classes with simple, creative ways to use games and props! In this upbeat, hands-on session, we’ll explore how play can boost engagement, spark imagination, and make skill-building feel exciting for athletes of all ages.
Together, we’ll experiment with props, partner activities, and playful teaching strategies that help you feel confident getting a little silly while still keeping learning at the core. You’ll walk away with fresh ideas, easy game variations, and ready-to-use activities that instantly add energy and joy to your next class.

Level Up! (Or Down): Adjusting Setups to Meet a Range of Athlete Needs
Together, we’ll explore how to break recreational skills into clear components, design progressions for each part, and adjust a single setup to meet a range of athlete needs.
From rolls to walkovers, we’ll experiment with how to challenge advanced athletes or support beginners using the same station. Walk away with fresh ideas, adaptable drills, and a level-up toolkit you can use in your very next class.
