Note: In this unit, there are five potential discussion themes available for your consideration. You should select three different discussion themes and submit one initial post that begins a discussion thread and two responses to your group members’ posts in the appropriate discussions area. If you are the first person to submit a post, do not forget to indicate the title of the theme (e.g. Children’s Participation in Sport Discussion). Moreover, do not worry to be the initiator of a discussion; other students who are interested in the theme(s) will join you soon to keep the discussions running.

1. Children’s Participation in Sport Discussion: What are the major motives for children to enter and to continue their participation in sport versus participation in other activities not related to sport? Can you relate any personal stories of why children take part in sport?
2. Overzealous Parents Discussion: Why do we have overzealous parents in the sport community? Have you or your friends ever had this kind of pressure?
3. Youth Sport Trajectories Discussion: The Developmental Model of Sport Participation proposes three possible trajectories for sport participation and performance during childhood and adolescence. Do you agree with the activities and contexts recommended in each trajectory and does this model reflect the practices that actually occur within youth sport programs?
4. Self-worth/Competence Discussion: Evaluate the concepts of global self-worth and perceived competence in youth sport.
5. Best Practice in Youth Sport Discussion: What best practices in youth sport programs are most worthwhile. Are any of these practices in your opinion ‘controversial’?
6. Across the course units (01-05 and 07-10), there are discussion activities that require your active, weekly participation in group discussions. Students will be placed in small groups to promote collaborative learning. Select Groups from the Tools dropdown menu to view your group.The purpose of the discussion is to build on the knowledge gained from the required reading and CourseLink unit modules to critically reflect on themes related to each unit in the course.With the exception of Unit 06, each unit includes five potential discussion themes for consideration. Students are required to select three different discussion themes (out of the five potential choices) and post one 150-250 word paragraph for each unit theme selected. A total of three posts should be submitted for each unit and must be related to different unit themes. To encourage idea sharing and interaction, students are expected to submit one initial post that begins a discussion thread by Wednesday and also complete two responses to group members’ posts by end of the week (Sunday).Only one initial post and two responses (each related to a different unit theme) will be graded.The due dates for unit discussion posts are listed in the Schedule (see above). All three posts for the unit must be submitted to the group discussion by the due date. Late discussion posts will not be graded.Important Note: Review the Late Policy under Course Specific Standard Statements in this Outline.Discussion posts will be evaluated throughout the term. Unit posts will be graded on the basis of knowledge/critical thinking, clarity of communication, quality/conciseness of writing, accuracy/relevance of academic content, and timeliness/frequency of posts
