EXAMPLES OF LEAGUES
Grade-based leagues can be mixed or aligned by gender and be configured in many ways to
suit your needs. For example, a four-week before-school league for 50 students can be easily
broken into four mixed teams, with each team playing nine games (three games against each
opponent), leaving the final two days for third-place and championship games. This format
requires only one game to be played each morning before school, which can be easily run by
one teacher, performing referee and ‘official’ duties at the same time.
ADMINISTRATION
Leagues require minimal administration, although working together with the school to
accommodate the daily schedule will require some effort on the stakeholders’ parts. League
stakeholders will include teachers, physical education coordinators, academic and sport
administrators and parent-teacher organisations.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Too Many Students
Leagues require the greatest amount
of problem solving and decision making,
as constraints on time and space
limit the number of participants. For
example, a school of 500 students,
ages 6-12, cannot offer leagues for
all their students. Therefore, creating
a league to meet the most developmentally
appropriate group, which
in this case would be children aged
10-12 years, is a satisfactory solution
to this problem.
Too Little Extracurricular Time
or Availability
Competition with other school extra-
-curricular programming, or constraints
on player availability, can be limiting
factors in the viability or sustainability
of a league. A solution to this problem
can be to play league games during PE
classes throughout the unit, which can
be a solution to the above-mentio ned
enrolment problem as well.
Remarks:
Whether festivals, tournaments or leagues, it is important to offer students more access
to competition, PE teachers opportunities for professional development, and communities
greater access for involvement in youth sports. By hosting handball events, you are reinforcing
our core values of fun, passion and health, and by doing so in combination with
a teaching unit, you are building a proper foundation upon which our sport can be constructed
in your school and beyond.
