Big Question:

How can we measure our athletic potential and set meaningful targets for improvement?

Key Objectives:

• • To perform sprint, jump and throw activities with efficient technique
• • To establish accurate baseline performance data across athletic disciplines

Big Question:

How can we use our body's momentum and physics to defy gravity and clear greater heights?

Key Objectives:

• • To attempt the correct scissor technique, taking off with one leg and landing one after the other
• • To gain height by raising the knee and swinging the arms to generate upward force

Big Question:

How can we generate maximum power and distance by transferring energy through our whole body?

Key Objectives:

• • To properly align feet in the heel-toe stance and understand its biomechanical advantage
• • To transfer weight from back to front leg with low to high release for maximum power

Big Question:

How can we use our whole body to throw a javelin further while keeping it safe and legal?

Key Objectives:

• • To assume the correct grip and release position of the javelin with high elbow technique
• • To release the javelin at the optimal height and angle to establish good flight with tip-first landing

Big Question:

How can explosive power and quick reactions transform your sprint performance in the first 10 metres?

Key Objectives:

• • To react quickly and explosively when the start signal is given
• • To maintain a low body position during the driving phase of a sprint start

Big Question:

How can we use rotation and biomechanics to launch an object further and more accurately?

Key Objectives:

• • To rotate around the length axis from low to high position
• • To release the discus at the highest point using index finger technique

Big Question:

How can we control our running speed like changing gears in a car to maintain stamina over distance?

Key Objectives:

• • To maintain a continuous pace for multiple minutes
• • To control speed in 'gears' and switch smoothly between different running speeds

Big Question:

How can we use rhythm and explosive power to maximise distance in the triple jump?

Key Objectives:

• • To execute the proper hop-step-jump sequence of the triple jump technique
• • To maintain core stability during all three flight phases

Big Question:

How can teamwork make a relay team faster than the sum of individual runners?

Key Objectives:

• • To match speed with a partner during baton exchange
• • To pass the baton safely without dropping it whilst maintaining running speed
