When to use

Prompt template

Plan a {DURATION} {SPORT} session for {GROUP_SIZE} participants aged {AGE_RANGE}, ability level {ABILITY}. Structure it as: warm-up, one or two skills with simple coaching points, a small-sided game or challenge, and a cool-down. For each part give timing and what you need. Include one easier and one harder variation so mixed abilities can all take part, and a safety note (space, hydration, supervision ratios). Keep equipment minimal. Emphasise fun and inclusion over competition.

Replace each highlighted placeholder with real context. Keep names and safeguarding details out.
