Students’ progress can be tracked by if they want to record and write down how many times, they were able to dribble a basketball in 1 minute for example. This is not mandatory for the student but it does give them the option to self-reflect at the end of the course on how they progressed through each drill. I will also provide verbal feedback every class. I will also be open to answer any questions regarding the lesson or any questions regarding sports upon enrolment of the class.
