Game On Programme (Secondary)

WHAT IS THE GAME ON PROGRAMME?

The Game On programme provides training and support for secondary school teachers to support them to engage girls in curriculum physical education through a life skills approach, using football as the vehicle. In addition, the programme aims to support and develop young female leaders through its young leaders training and support package.

Ultimately, Game On is designed to:

• Improve the PE experience for girls through teachers adopting a life skills approach to PE using football as the vehicle.
• Increase the number of girls participating and enjoying football related activities
• Develop girls in leadership roles as Football Activators to create and deliver relevant and enjoyable opportunities for more girls in their school.

The Game On Programme has 3 core elements:

1. GO: Digital

Within this area of the platform you will find a wide range of resources to support you as a teacher to introduce a life skills approach to your PE delivery. All of these resources are free to access using the links below once you have registered as a user to the platform.

2. GO: Teacher (Available only to schools within BGFSP’s)

Designed to support teachers to develop a new approach to delivering PE in their schools through a life skills focus. The GO teacher training will focus on exploring how teachers can engage girls in curriculum physical education through football, identify and develop life skills and support girls to be empowered to lead football-related activity for others.

3. GO: Leadership(Available in Year 2)

Schools engaging in GO: Teacher this year or schools that have previously undertaken Game On Training last year will be supported to establish and deliver extra-curricular girls football clubs or activity led by their girls’ football activators. The girls’ football activators can follow one of two leadership pathways; marketing or delivery. The girls selected to be football activators will be able to access kit, resources and leadership training to support them in their roles.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The curriculum training is aimed at secondary school teachers delivering to Key Stage 3 girls; this training is also complimented by peer leadership training for girls’ football activators.

Schools engaging in the Game On programme will be supported to establish and deliver extra-curricular girls’ football clubs or activity led by their girls’ football activators. The girls’ football activators can follow one of two leadership pathways; marketing or delivery.
