Speed

What it could look like:

• Sprinting, jumping, swimming
• Moving the arms quickly to hit/catch/ throw an object

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have limited movement capability and require support.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Establishes and explores how to move at different speeds.

• Participating in a short race with intent to move quickly
• Throwing a ball at different speeds

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Develops and applies the necessary speed to participate in multiple movements and physical activities.

• Training to improve sprint time and compete in a race
• Throwing a ball with increased speed

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Optimises speed to meet the demands of frequent participation in diverse movement and physical activity.

• Performing controlled movements at an optimal speed e.g. running and jumping in hurdles
• Throwing a ball at optimal speed e.g. fast pitch in baseball

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.

• Being an accomplished tennis player, you know that determination and regulating your emotions is an important part of the game.  To complement your cardiovascular fitness you complete gym sessions several times a week as you know building muscular strength is an important factor in preventing injuries.  You enjoy the physical and mental demands of tennis and decide to further your knowledge by taking part in a coaching course. You hope to influence the culture of your tennis club by becoming a coach and being a role model for others.
