You inspire them by showing them how amazing they are
What can you expect from the PE Team and Sports Coaches Effective teachers that possess the skill to make the sport relevant, appropriate and enjoyable to the children in their care Knowledge and an appreciation of the effect that age, stage and level of development have on your child Understanding of individual children in their squad, such as the areas in which they require support and the best methods for helping them develop and learn through their sport An approachable and professional manner
What do we expect from the children... A commitment to their squad and team mates Attend all training sessions Attend all competitive fixtures Show positivity, perseverance and confidence in themselves and their team Communicate with their coach/teacher Be an ambassador for Kings School Dubai Persistence supersedes talent, genetics and luck. There can be no true success without it
What do we expect from supporting parents? Sport is a wonderful equalizer and a very efficient tool to ensure inclusion. It can certainly place everyone on a level playing field
What do we expect from supporting parents? How would you expect a visiting parent to behave at your child's school? How would expect another adult to speak to your child? When is it appropriate to talk to the teacher in charge? Who should your child be listening to during games and training sessions? How can your behaviour allow the coaches and children to achieve their best? when a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.

Kings Dubai School Sports Website Launch www.kingsdubaisport.com The new School Sports Website is our main form of communication. Here you will find all the information regarding fixtures, match reports, team sheets, sports calendar dates and much more. We will continue to send updates via the communicator but we will not be sending individual letters to children from this point forwards. It is vital that you save this website and use it as your first point of reference for all sport specific information. You can view, save and even print the calendar with the fixture dates for your child's sports team. We recommend you do this and ensure their schedule is kept free for them to participate. Should you need to contact a member of the PE team please use the contact form, also found online, with their contact email address.
