Medium Term Plan - Trampolining - Year 9

The Year 9 trampolining medium term plan, as part of the Key Stage 3 curriculum, spans six lessons with the intent to enhance core trampolining skills and techniques. Students will focus on individual movements and their combinations, aiming for controlled and aesthetically pleasing executions. The plan also emphasizes the development of creative and fluent sequences, alongside the ability to critically evaluate and refine movements for improved outcomes. Fundamental to the programme is an understanding of trampoline safety, which includes setting up equipment correctly and adopting safe practices during use.

Over the course of the programme, students will explore a range of skills such as tucks, pikes, straddles, twisting movements, seat drops, swivel hips, and front drops. They will learn to sequence these movements in increasingly complex routines, making decisions and assessing their own and others' performances to suggest improvements. Personal development is also a key component, with a focus on communication, teamwork, respect, and the broader benefits of trampolining for health and activity. The plan culminates in the ability to perform a 10-bounce routine with precision and creativity, showcasing the students' mastery of the skills learned. Additionally, the plan encourages students to consider careers in the sports industry, highlighting the diverse opportunities available.
