Station teaching is where hitting or activity stations are established and the instructors remain at their positions while students rotate. These are effective with children who go from one station to another to participate in the activities that challenge them for their specific ability level or experience. Station teaching is only limited by the number of positions and instructors you can set up on the available court space. A second method is to have all the students doing the same activity. One teaching professional handles many people on one court.
Additional instructors assist on the same court or take other groups to adjoining courts.
For our purposes, we will concentrate on this method of teaching large groups. Demonstration and Explanations As with any lesson, you need to eliminate distractions. Instruction should be brief. Offer specific cues or checkpoints. Demonstrations should be conducted repeatedly at slow speed and from a position on the court where students will be positioned.
