NIST ECA & SPORTS PROGRAMME

1ST

SESSION 2011-12

Dear Parent/ Guardian,

Our Extra Curricular Activites (ECA) programme at NIST has a large and diverse range of activities

available to our students after school. Students who participate in our ECA programme are rewarded

by enhanced skill development, the learning of new and different activities and an opportunity to sharewith their peers the enjoyment, excitement & challenges not normally available in the classroom.

The details on all the ECAs available to NIST students are located on the ECA web site. The school

uses this web site for all ECA information.http://blogs.nist.ac.th/eca

Year 1 parents can access the ECA front page for information related to ECAs available for Yr 1 but

cannot sign up using the ECA server.

Our Falcon BISAC/ SEASAC Sports and Recreational Sports programme Sign up & Tryoutinformation are also included in this handout. If your child/children want to sign up or tryout for a

sport please read the relevant information for that area.

NIST ACTIVE- Lunchtime Programme

NIST ACTIVE is a new lunchtime recreation programme where we will focus on increasing access

and opportunities for our Y5-8 students in some focus sports that mirror our established BISAC

programme. Through NIST ACTIVE we will aim to provide opportunities for students to develop their

gross motor skill and understandings of the key sports and expose a broader base of students to safe-

competition within NIST.

By staggering the sign up process above this will allow your child to make informed ECA choices

based on known sporting commitments.

MONTRI: LATE MONTRI VANS (4.30pm) will commerce August 22, 2011 for students involved in

the sports programme and August 29, 2011 for students involved in all other ECAs at the time of

the necessary transportation.

We hope your child enjoys the NIST ECA programme.

Falcon Tennis Academy 2011-12

Elementary Program

Every day the Falcon programme helps our students to learn not just a sport, but other qualities such as

self-confidence, sportsmanship and the habits of an active, healthy lifestyle. We are committed to

making sure that all kids have an opportunity to play and learn from this lifetime sport.We take a great

deal of pride in our commitment to provide you with a fun tennis environment and the professional

coaching staff to help your child learn and improve. Over the duration of the session, students should

begin to have a better understanding of the fundamentals: contact and balance, an introduction to basic

racket skill and movement skills to improve hand/eye coordination using mini tennis lots of fun

games

We have the Falcon Nest Programme for Y1-Y3 and the Fledgling Falcon Programme for Y3-Y7. All

programmes are offered five days a week from 2.30 to 3.30 pm. We recommend that juniors sign up

for at least 2 days week to maximize their development.

Secondary Program

The Flying Falcon programme is designed for the beginner and intermediate players of secondary age.

At the beginning of each school session all players are evaluated and placed into three sectionsaccording to their age, ability level, and goals. These three sections have been created for coaching

and organizational purposes and are named; Flying Gold and Flying Silver sections.

The vision of the Falcon programme is to create an environment where our players can move into a

slightly more advanced setting with the coaches carefully monitoring the growth and development of

the players to ensure their progress. The Falcon programme emphasizes: hand/eye coordination and

movement development while learning the basic rules of tennis including scoring, and helping theplayers progress with the fundamentals of stroke development. Each player is urged to strive to move

into a more advanced section or programme (i.e. Falcon) this should this be their goal.

The Falcon programme is a one hour programme from 3:30-4:30pm Monday through Saturday. Theenrollment limit is 12 players per term.

Each player needs to bring their kit, tennis shoes, and racket to practice. If your child needs a racquet

we can make a suitable recommendation.

Please contact ECA office or Coach Ko ([email protected]) if you have further queries.
