SEND Disney Inspired Shooting Stars
Disney inspired Shooting Stars SEND is a programme that has been designed for schools to inspire young people with SEND to engage in their active minutes through football. The programme provides a suite of resource cards that include ready-made session plans which include fun, inclusive activities for pupils encouraging the development of their fundamental movement skills. The resource cards have been created in consultation with the Youth Sport Trust's Lead Inclusion Schools with the aim of specifically engaging more young people with SEND in physical activity and football.
The virtual training sessions below have been created to demonstrate how SEND Shooting Stars can be implemented within your school through bringing the resource to life. Once the training has been completed, the resources will be sent to you directly.
Here is some of the feedback from schools that have recently completed the Shooting Stars programme:
Shooting Stars clubs are incredible. I have delivered these clubs myself which has given me great insight. We’ve set up mixed gender and they’re targeted a SEND lunchtime and SEND mainstream after school club. I found these were brilliant for starters into physical activity and early intervention clubs.
This programme has been excellent within our special schools both inside and outside the curriculum for introducing young people to the sport developing their practical, social and teamwork skills. With DiSS, pupils have the opportunity to play in a non-competitive environment, where the emphasis has been placed on building skills, confidence and having fun.
The clubs established have been a result of the young person voice and their input within the creativity of these sessions. The schools we’re working with directly identified a group of SEND girls who would benefit from the project which is thriving.
