WHY WE DO IT?
Prepare future generations to a more interactive and collaborative world to fight obesity and isolation
Obesity is becoming more common due to sedentary lifestyles, poor recreational tendencies, and limited physical activity. Share & Play allows kids and teenagers to play and learn through Handball. They are learning about topics like mathematics, geography, STEM and health while practicing sport.
Bring an opportunity to former professional players to grow into a new life stage
After many years of exclusive dedication in sport, it´s often difficult to reintegrate into society: the two primary challenges for former professional athletes to get a job are beginning non-sport work at an older age, and doing so without having established a track record of previous non-sport working experience. Life changes dramatically and it´s time to structure all the sport experiences and use it for a purpose. Sportsmen are making the difference with their sport experiences and that´s a way to put it all into practice.
HOW WE DO IT?
Using handball as a vehicle to teach sport values. We implement different games with special rules to promote the integration, gender equal, the inclusion and the teamwork between all the participants. Every game has a different target and kids need to improve and adapt themselves to every new situation. A social component is present in every session, prompting the kids to work together and to make the decisions as a part of the team.
The Share & Play coaches have a key role in the program as trainers transferring all the values and the passion for playing together. Share & Play methodology allows to the trainers an easy access to the kids for teaching them about healthy behaviors and the importance of education. Players become a key part in the session empowering key message around the following topics:
Mathematics | Geography | First Aid | Injuries | Prevention | Nutrition | STEM
METHODOLOGY
