Street Racket is a pretty simple idea. The idea is that you can play it anywhere. All you need is a bat and a ball.
Here is a pretty simple idea for coaches of any sport that involves hitting a ball:
Hitting an object is one of the ten athletic skills listed in the Athletic Skills Model. You showing up at a school with the intention of helping kids do just that, ensures that only nine more skills need covering that year.
Don’t seek any business or participation target improvements, simply remove barriers to kids regularly hitting an object.
By not obsessing over one skill, hitting an object, over the other nine you have clearly demonstrated an interest in the rounded physical development of children above the success of the sport you love.
That is your reward.
A chance to put the people you coach before the interests of yourself and your sport.
One school. One act. One down, nine to go.
Pass it on.
