SEPEP is a very team driven model where within their teams students develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills (Kulinna 2008).. SEPEP has six key features that need to be included when running a unit based on this model (Metzler 2012). Within a regular SEPEP unit the structure needs to be based around a Seasons: normal sporting season comprising of an organisation period, a preseason, a regular season and a postseason or festivity (Metzler 2012). For the best benefits of SEPEP units should comprise of a minimum of 20 lessons. This unit only includes 7 lessons as I felt this was more appropriate for the class and the curriculum set up at the school it is designed for. Lengthening this unit would simply mean making each of these included seasons longer. Affiliation: Students are placed in a sporting team and stay in this team for the remainder of the unit. This aims for students to experience the true notion of in a team (Metzler 2012). They work towards common goals together, make group decisions, experiences the successes and failures as a group, all whilst developing affective and social objectives (Metzler 2012). Within this unit the class will be split up into 5 teams with 5-6 players per team. Formal competition: Every SEPEP tournament must have a formal schedule of competition so teams can make short term and long term goals and decisions (Metzler 2012). Within this unit, throughout the first three weeks during the organisation and preseason seasons, the class themselves will come up with the round robin fixture for the following three week formal competition. Students will decide how many games per lesson and how long each game will go for. This is a student centred model however guidance should be given by the teacher to enable them to come up with a successful competition schedule. Cumulating The unit needs to end with an all inclusive final competition (Metzler 2012). Within this unit it will be held in week 7. This is the event all teams should be working for and should be exciting for students (more about this units cumulating event will follow).
