WISC’s focus at this developmental stage is to create interest and maximize participation. “No Child Left Behind - Sport” is an approach borrowed from our academic wing, and it is strictly adhered to in each sport that is offered. Keen attention is invested in developing basic skills, preparation for competition and a love for sport. Playing time will reflect this, developing athletes equally.
The focus at this level is to build on the gains from the lower foundational levels so as to continue with the development of skills, knowledge and rules of each of the games offered to our students. Maximum participation by athletes is emphasized not only for the overall growth and welfare of the athletes, but the continued development of the overall program. WISC program approach is to use the developmental levels as the foundations for the higher, competitive levels.
The aim at this level in the WISC program is to refine the basic skills and to develop their application within the sport. In essence, we strive to continue to develop the “basic skills”. Additional emphasis on being competitive is introduced at this phase of an individual or group development process while maintaining the maximum participation mantra. The phase demands that the WISC program morph to a level where more work is done on how to apply skills to competitive situations and to develop more detailed tactics related to the individual sport.
The WISC sports program ensures that at the top end of your child’s development process, more emphasis is placed on being competitive. For championship tournaments we aim to field our most competitive team. Players earn their game time throughout the season through their performance in matches and training. We strive to develop unique techniques in our tactical approaches of the sport which focus and emphasize fairness, integrity, commitment, discipline and dedication to a team.
