Students will continue to focus on a variety of attacking and defending principles that are needed across invasion games. During this, students will apply their core and developing advanced invasion skills to outwit opponents during conditioned and full matches. Students will be taught to select and apply the appropriate strategies that are needed in different sporting scenarios.
Overload

Vaulting

Students will explore the different aspects to a training programme. The main focus is how students plan to see progression and overload in a training programme and build on their knowledge of fitness components and training methods from year 7 & 8. Students then research, plan and create a fitness programme for a target group.
Fitness programme

Studetsn will complete either a gymnastics or trampolining unit of work:
Gymnastics - Students will study balance and rotation work to a higher level in year 9. The emphasis of the initial lessons will prepare students to take weight on their hands. They will then use these skills to complete more advanced moves off the springboard and then to vaulting - ranging from through vaults to handsprings.
Trampolining - Students build on the foundational work done in gymnastics during year 7 and 8 and apply it into trampolining skills. Students will explore the basic shapes and turns in the air which follow similar techniques from vaulting. Students will then study seat landings, back landings and front landings (with variations) and link those skills together in a routine.
Vaulting
