Co-Lead Session 5: Proving Consistency on the Hard Half

Kids Coaching · Lesson 19 of 26All lessons

4 min read

Session 5 of 6 in the Co-Lead Protocol (Kids). Read this before the class, then do the quiz and reflection after it.

Same split as sessions 3-4: you run the ground game / main topic + recall + closeout, the experienced coach runs warmup + standing game. The difference is that the experienced coach steps back further. Less jumping in with concepts, less steering on behavioral moments. By session 6, they should barely need to say anything during your segments.

These sessions are about proving you can run the hard half of a kids class reliably. Different kids, different energy levels, different behavioral challenges.

Continue alternating between programs so you get reps in both.

For the Experienced Coach

These are the evaluation sessions. You're deciding whether the trainee is ready to solo.

  • Pull back further. Don't offer feedback between their rounds unless asked. If a behavioral moment comes up during their segment, let them handle it first. Save everything for the debrief.
  • Look for consistency. Are they handling behavioral moments the same way every time, or does their enforcement vary with their mood? Are pairings deliberate every session, or are they getting lazy?
  • Push them on self-assessment. By session 5-6, they should be identifying their own mistakes before you point them out. If they can't, they need more co-lead reps.
  • Be honest in the debrief. If they're ready for solo, tell them. If they're not, be specific. "Your Little Lions pacing needs work" or "you're still softening boundaries when kids push back" is more useful than "you're almost there."

After the Session: Quiz and Reflection

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