3. From the Discussion Forum

The topic from Serena1 was: " Any suggestions for cool innovative equipment out there?...

"My current favourite is the Holy Moly Strap. It's glorified velcro coloured strap that can be used as pinnies, as well as props for any cooperative or competitive games that I can think of. The best part is it is soft so it can be used safely with younger students (for example, if I roll two of them together I can use it as a puck for floor hockey and its does not hurt). I love its flexibility and durability.

Now, I'm looking for other cool and innovative equipment. Any ideas?"

If you're a PE Update member and have any ideas for Serena, or want to post your own questions, ideas, topics or rants, go to the Discussion Forum at:

Discussion Forum

I check the forum every day, so it's also a great way to communicate any questions, requests or comments to me.

6. Pick of the Week

Each week, I'll highlight an article that I think is really useful. The article will be available to non-members of the website for a week, and to members forever!

This week's pick is:
Soccer - Offensive Tactics When Receiving Sideline Passes

When players receive a pass near the sideline, they often make the mistake of immediately taking the ball down the sideline. In fact, there is a better move in such situations.
