During my time at Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School during my PSIII Internship, I had the opportunity to co-coach the Grade 5 girls basketball team with another teacher at the school. We held practices twice a week, working mostly on dribbling, passing, game play, and teamwork. The girls participated in one after school game against another elementary school in Red Deer, and then a culminating tournament in March. It was a very valuable experience for me to be involved in and I am glad that I decided to push myself and take a step outside of my comfort zone. It was a great start to coaching for me and it also allowed me to become more involved in my practicum school and get to know more of the students better.
