Teaching Fundamental Movement Skills in P.E. through Tag Rugby (Facilitated by IRFU)
The aim of this summer course for teachers is to introduce Tag Rugby to teachers’ PE classes
as a means of helping in the acquisition of an appropriate range of movement skills across
the PE strands. Largely practical based, the course will examine the Fundamental Movement
Skills, Fundamental Games Skills and Game Specific Skills. There will be an emphasis on
pedagogical skills, teaching methodologies and class management skills building on existing
knowledge in PE to allow teachers to adapt lessons to pupil’s interest or to include children
with special educational needs. It will also highlight ways to integrate numeracy, literacy &
SPHE programmes in a co-curricular way. This Course will be delivered by Coach
Development Officers and Community Rugby Officers from IRFU.
