Lesson 1

2. GYMNASTICS!

3. Our aim during gymnastics…
Is to improve our performance by developing our understanding of skills and techniques:
What they are.
How to gather data on them.
How you break them down.
Different ways to learn them.
The importance of feedback in learning skills.
The stages of learning.

4. By the end of the block…
We will perform an apparatus routine, containing our strongest skills, with control and fluency.

5. Today we will learn... What skills and techniques are.
How to tell easy and complex skills apart.
What subroutines are and how we can use them to describe a skill.

Easy Skill
Complex Skills
Few subroutines
Many subroutines
Physically undemanding
Physically demanding
Little coordination needed
Coordination vital
Simple order of movements
Complicated order of movements
Only on movement at a time
Many movements at the same time
Few judgements to be made
Many judgements to be made
Easy environment (e.g. good weather conditions, no opposition, safety equipment)
Difficult environment (e.g. poor weather conditions, full opposition, no safety equipment)

17. Closed /Open/ Continuous Skills

Tuck head in.
Push off from feet.
Roll on your back keeping feet together.
Reach forward to stand upright.
Raise hands above head to finish.

23. By the end of the block…
We will perform an apparatus routine, containing our strongest skills, with control and fluency.
Before we put together our routine what will we have to do?
