Not currently mate, unfortunately, but if I hear of anything I will let you know. It's not easy at the minute, so many PE graduates and not many vacancies. I heard of one school having 65 applications for one post!!!

Yeah tell me about it mate. I just need to find a Ta job for a year before reapplying for a pgce. There were 450 applicants for it when I applied last year so need to be pretty special. Might need to be a career change lol.

No mate, there were people with much better experience. No undergraduates from our course got on, was all offer guys with lots of experience. Hence why it would be good to get in schools early. If you get the experience you'll be fine and taking a year out may not be the worst idea. And doing a course like you were saying like sport coach and pe, you don't limit yourself to pe only and there ate still some jobs in coaching until pe picks up again. It's not the end of the world mate.

I do voluntray sports coaching at a private prep school, so up to 13 year olds, a lot of them will play across the line but many can play straight, its a bug bear when all they do is 'smear'

why should you have to play straight when you are 13, encourage them to give the ball a smack.

Absolutely Buzz, if it works then why change it. No-one with a coaching manual got hold of Muralitharan and look what happened there. If the end product is better than how they could perform after being coached the technically correct model, then surely that is better for them, the team they play in and cricket in general.

I would argue that by 13 their Co-ordination will already have developed and they should now be focussing on the finer points if they wish to play a decent level.
