Strategy & planning

Strategy and planning describes how set goals will be achieved using reflection and resources available.

Strategy & planning

What it could look like:

  • Developing a team formation that will be used to play a game
  • Planning smaller milestones as part of the process of achieving a bigger goal
  • Identifying how personal/team goals for an upcoming season or challenge will be achieved

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity. At this stage I do not understand why, when and how I would participate in movement and physical activity.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Develops a planned strategy to achieve a movement or physical activity outcome.

  • Understanding the need to pace in a longer distance race to complete the event
  • Deciding where to surf based on the weather conditions

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Plans multiple strategies, where one or more can be selected to achieve the same outcome.

  • Devising attacking and defensive strategies before a game e.g. increasing the number of defenders when playing an attacking team
  • Deciding in advance which types of waves to catch and when to paddle out to them when planning a surf

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Anticipates likely responses and plans for the unknown in order to achieve movement goals.

  • Devising strategies that account for changing rules e.g. setting a defensive field in T20 Cricket when the maximum number of players inside the fielding circle is restricted
  • Planning alternative surfing strategies to cater for changing weather and ocean conditions or position in a surfing competition

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts. I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

  • Deciding to become a volunteer at your local surf club, so that you can pass on your knowledge of a range of aquatic activities (swimming, surfing, paddling) and your knowledge of the local environment to others. Personally, this also enables to you to enjoy more time on the beach/in the water, as well as support your own fitness and lifestyle goals.
