Selecting Learning Activites

Selecting learning activities

Learning activities provide the direction to teachers about what they can teach to students for them to achieve the identified learning intentions of the resource.

Reflect on the identified learning intentions to help you select appropriate activities to support this learning. For example:

Learning Intention

Sport-specific example

Learning activities

Students understand key concepts and strategies to enhance performance in your sport.

In basketball there are a number of strategies that can be used to stop players scoring inside the key.

  • Turn over drill where players practise shifting from attack to   defence and sprint back down the court into position (get back-get ready)
  • Teaching player versus zone offence positions
  • 3-on-3 small-sided games that practise tracking an attacker (tag   games first, then introduce a ball)
