Skills, Drills, and Strategies for Coaches (3) F, S This course is designed to provide information on skill development, practice and game planning, season schedules, creating drills and practice sessions, motivating players and coaching tips. Justification: The increase of semester hours from 2 to 3 semester hours for PEP 2500 is necessary to more adequately cover addtional, necessary standards as outlined by NCACE, the National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education which is a non-profit organization established by sport leaders from across the country and is a sub-committee of NASPE, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. After a full year of teaching PEP 2500, Skills, Drills and Strategies (2) within the Coaching Sport minor and the Physical Education/Coaching Dual minor, it has become evident that additional curriculum needs to be included (Basic taping and wrapping techniques for coaches)along with an expansion of presently listed currciulum such as the development of team strategies, offensive and defensive. (2) Two semester hours are insufficient to do justice to the selected curriculum. INFORMATION PAGE for substantive proposals only 1. Did this course receive unanimous approval within the Department? true If not, what are the major concerns raised by the opponents? N/A 2. If this is a new course proposal, could you achieve the desired results by revising an existing course within your department or by requiring an existing course in another department? This is a revision of an existing course with an increase of specific standards and topics. This increase will justify changing the current credit hours from 2 semester hours to 3 semester hours. 3. How will the proposed course differ from similar offerings by other departments? Comment on any subject overlap between this course and topics generally taught by other departments, even if no similar courses are currently offered by the other departments. Explain any effects that this proposal will have on program requirements or enrollments in other department. Please forward letters (email communication is sufficient) from all departments that you have identified above stating their support or opposition to the proposed course. There will be no negative effects on program requirements or enrollments in other departments. 4. Is this course required for certification/accreditation of a program? yes If so, a statement to that effect should appear in the justification and supporting documents should accompany this form. 5. For course proposals, e-mail a syllabus to Faculty Senate which should be sufficiently detailed that the committees can determine that the course is at the appropriate level and matches the description. There should be an indication of the amount and type of outside activity required in the course (projects, research papers, homework, etc.).
