Session 1 of 6 in the Co-Lead Protocol (Kids). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.

You run the opening block: warmup and the standing/takedown game. This is the highest-energy part of class and the most procedural. The warmup is the same routine every class. The standing game is usually a familiar format. Your main challenge is setting the energy for the room and managing transitions cleanly.

During the ground game / main topic, the experienced coach will hand you one game segment to run. This gets you into the hard half early so the jump to sessions 3-4 isn't as steep.

Do one Little Lions class and one Golden Tigers class in these first two sessions.

For the Experienced Coach

  • Let them own the energy. The opening sets the tone for the whole class. If they're low energy, the room will be low energy. Don't compensate by being louder yourself. Let them feel the consequence and debrief it after.
  • Watch their warmup execution. Is it crisp and routine, or are they fumbling the sequence? The warmup should be automatic so they can focus on scanning the room.
  • Hand them one game during the ground segment. Set it up the same way you would during assist: tell them the game, the win conditions, and one concept. This keeps them engaged in the hard half even though they're not driving it yet.
  • Debrief the transition. How smoothly did the handoff happen between the standing game and the ground game? Did the class lose momentum?

After the Session: Quiz and Reflection

Do this after you've co-led the class, not before.
