Session Plan Template

Session / Lesson Plan Templates

Trying to get your coaching organised this season?

Lesson plans help to organise your ideas for individual sessions - ensuring you are clear about:

• The aim of the session
• Best use of equipment and resources
• Key teaching points
• Sailing area and course
• Environmental variables
• How to communicate the brief
• How to develop the lesson / prepare for a plan B
• Debrief points and next steps

Making detailed lesson plans will help you develop your skills as an instructor or coach and are recommended for all new instructors and anyone looking to progress to higher levels of coaching.

There are several options for using this template:

1. Print and cut it out, laminate individually and keep it as a dry wipe template.

2. Print it out, fill it in and then laminate (useful if you do a lot of the same sessions)

3. Fill it in on your computer, then cut and laminate. We recommend using Word (PC) or Pages (Mac) to create a new file, insert the page as an image, then edit over the top with text boxes and images.
