YDP Cambridge Behaviour Policy

Good behaviour is fundamental to success in all Youth Dreams Project Cambridge coaching sessions. We aim to work in partnership with each school to encourage and promote the appropriate behaviour of pupils within the sports sessions that we deliver. To achieve high expectations, it is important that pupils understand and are supported in the acquisition of behaviour skills that support learning. Therefore, for the consistency of the children, YDP Cambridge will follow each individual school's behaviour policy. Our team will compliment these policies by using praise and positive reinforcement.

We will include the following additional positive incentives to enhance good behaviour:

Each Session

A star boy and a star girl will be selected at the end of each session by the coach. This will be announced in front of the whole class and then fed back to the class teacher. The children will be aware that the choice will be based around performance in the lesson. Which involves level of participation, attitude towards learning and behaviour, level of skill shown and if they have demonstrated positive leadership skills (supporting others, encouraging and helping the coach setup/pack away).

End of Term

At the end of each term, the coach (or coaches where applicable) will select a Star of The Term from each year group. The selection will be based on improvement, progress, participation and effort throughout the term. They will each receive YDP merchandise, and/or a certificate. We would recommend that these pupils are recognised by way of an announcement during the schools end of term assembly to encourage, inspire and motivate other children on their personal sporting journey.

YDP Cambridge's expectations for students:

– Always wear appropriate clothing for all YDP lessons (trainers, shorts, T-shirt)

– Remove all jewellery

– To give maximum effort for the duration of the session

– To be respectful to others and the YDP coach

This policy was ratified on 1st January 2023.
