2. Activities nature and purpose:
Pupils will understand the difference between individual and team activities.
Pupils will learn the difference between competitive and non-competitive and understand the how competitive sports can be broken down into indirect/direct.
Pupils will learn different scoring systems and be able to give examples of each.

4. Types of activities
There are a number of different types of activities. Some can be ‘individual’ and some maybe ‘team’ sports.
Write a list of 5 activities you enjoy taking part in and state whether they are team or individual sports.

5. Individual activities
An individual activity is performed by one person.
Here are some examples.
Some individual activities can be performed by one person totally alone eg golf, archery and pistol-shooting.
Some can be ‘on my own’ but against an opponent eg. Tennis, squash, boxing.

6. Team Activities
A team activity involves you working with other people, for instance, volleyball.
A team may consist of only two people, as in ice skating or badminton doubles. However, a team may have many members, as in rugby union.

7. Consider the next four activities:
Two are ‘individual’ and two are ‘team’
Name them
Two are also ‘competitive’ and two ‘non-competitive’. What is the difference between them both?

8. Competitive and Non-competitive
A competitive activity is a contest involving two or more rivals. Each rival tries to win.
A non-competitive activity involves performers who take part for self-satisfaction (sense of achievement, thrill, fitness, enjoyment, etc)
Contests are either ‘directly competitive’ or ‘indirectly competitive’. Describe each type.

9. Competitive activities
‘Directly competitive’ means that you have a direct bearing or influence on what your opponent does. For example, football
‘Indirectly competitive’ means that your performance does not affect the performance of your opponent. Eg. Swimming.

12. OBJECTIVE OR SUBJECTIVE SCORING SYSTEMS
The outcome of different activities is decided by a variety of objective or subjective scoring methods.
Objective scoring is measured by definite means-time, measurements, points and goals scored. These include scoring most goals (football);runs(cricket) and points (rugby). Time taken is used in running/swim races and height and distance measurements are used to decided jumping and throwing events.

13. OBJECTIVE SCORING how many points scored goals scored highest height
fastest time
furthest distance

14. Subjective scoring
Subjective scoring methods are based on opinions and values of those judging performances. In making scoring decisions judges need to consider many different factors. For example, in rhythmic gymnastics the judges need to consider the range and quality of movement and use of space and projection.
