Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to share the continued ‘Friday Sports’ community partnership programme success. The programme again accentuated the vital role pre-service teacher education can play in the development of children’s health, wellbeing, and physical education (HW & PE). This was the second time ‘Friday Sports’, embedded in unit EDF3619 for the university students (pre-service teachers), was offered for local primary schools. Tennis Australia ‘hot shots’ national initiative was adopted as a platform, and subsequently, became the modified sport for all sessions. Data gathered and feedback received suggested that this major amendment was effective.
