Ballgames can be used in Physical Education to develop the cooperative skills of the students. However, it appears that in a competitive context, where scoring and winning are the main concerns of the players, the traditional ways of playing may flout Human Rights’ values such as solidarity, respect, inclusion and fair-play. This training unit aims at developing methods that can counter-balance those drifts and initiate the students to inclusive and respectful ways of playing. By the means of cooperative and experiential learning, the trainees will be introduced to the principles of rebound-games and enabled to reflect on their own practices as teachers.

Extensive research demonstrates that Physical Education (PE) teachers and sport coaches can create a motivational climate associated with success (Ntoumanis and Biddle, 1999; Duda, 2003; Papaioannou, 2012). Several investigators have proved that a task-involving motivational climate (MC) in physical education and sport (PES) is associated with more adaptive behavioural, affective and cognitive outcomes, while an ego climate is linked with less adaptive outcomes (Braithwaite, Spray and Warburton, 2011; Ntoumanis and Biddle, 1999; Papaioannou, 2012). Specifically, a task MC is positively correlated with two fundamental concepts of this training unit, namely, physical activity regular participation (active lifestyles) and democratic values and human rights (Papaioannou, 2012). Therefore, the purpose of this training unit is to develop PES student teacher’s attitudes, skills and knowledge on how to establish a task-involving MC in their classes/sessions.
