Learning objectives
MODULO CALCIO:

·Soccer basic technique - Acquisition of technical and practical knowledge.
·Soccer individual tactics - Acquisition of technical and practical knowledge.
·Soccer - Acquisition of teaching methodological fundamentals.
·Acquisition of the basic concept of complex tactics.

MODULO PALLACANESTRO:
Obiettivi in Inglese
The course is aimed at launching team sports practice, particularly basketball, by means of a modern conception of learning such as motivating experiences for the student.
For these reasons, the objectives will be as follows:
-knowledge of basic individual moves in attack and defense;
-knowledge of team basics;
-knowledge of basketball as a team sport;
-knowledge of the requirements for a didactic planning;
In particular, the focus will be on the technical and tactical aspects of the teaching, the technics, so that the student will be able to explain and show basics and technical fundamentals as he will have acquired.

MODULO PALLAVOLO:
In this course the student should be able to set out the teaching, didactics and the practice of the volleyball by means of a modern conception of training made of advanced and innovative tools. In this fashion, the learning of the theory, methodology, and technical and tactical skills of this sport would be pleasantly appealing. The course id divided in two semesters, according to the overall programme published.
Expected learning outcomes
MODULO CALCIO:

·Performance of basic technique gestures with sufficient coordination.
·Performance of individual tactics gestures with sufficient coordination.
·Gaming system recognition.
·Planning of teaching units and/or training sessions.
·Training session management in respect of the three phases of the lesson (introduction, main core and conclusion) with sufficient competence.

MODULO PALLACANESTRO:
At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the following competences:
-knowledge of individual fundamentals of the basketball;
-knowledge of the fundamentals of the basketball as a team sports discipline;
-knowledge of the basketball as a team-game;
-knowledge of the requirements for a didactic planning;
Finally, the student will be to elaborate simple didactic paths aimed at the learning of the individual basics and the devising of a single lesson within an extensive and complete didactic planning.


MODULO PALLAVOLO:
At the end of this course, the student will have acquired specific competences on the basics of this sport, either on an individual- or team-standpoint. The learner will therefore be able to autonomously manage the teaching of the methodology, didactic, theory of the volleyball for young divisions, including their competitions and tournaments.
The student will be also able to deal with the supervision of the race, as a primary coach or by supporting teams playing in the official league of the Italian Federation of Volleyball
