Medium Term Plan - Trampolining - Year 10

The Year 10 trampolining scheme for Key Stage 4, spanning six lessons, is meticulously designed to enhance students' physical education. The intent of this program is to cultivate students' ability to replicate trampolining skills both in isolation and as part of a sequence, with a particular emphasis on control, aesthetics, and fluency. The course aims to foster an understanding of healthy lifestyles and fitness while encouraging students to take on different roles, including coaching, and to develop evaluative skills to assess techniques and improve performance. As students progress through the stages of Emerging, Developing, and Mastery, they will demonstrate increasing proficiency in executing core trampoline skills with precision and fluency, culminating in the creation of complex sequences that challenge both their physical and mental capacities.

The curriculum is structured to impart knowledge on coordination, timing, body control, and the linkage of core movements. Students will also gain an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses while learning sports-specific terminology. Skills such as tuck, pike, straddle, twisting movements, seat drop, swivel hips, front and back drops, and rotational movements are developed through increasingly complex sequences. Pupils are encouraged to make decisions, assess outcomes, and suggest improvements, thereby developing confidence in trampolining movements. The program also addresses personal development, problem-solving, setting challenges, decision-making, and evaluating and improving performance. Additionally, explicit references are made to the potential careers within the sports industry, such as coaching, teaching, journalism, nutrition, sports psychology, and physiotherapy, to broaden students' perspectives on the opportunities available to them.
