Gymnastics

This unit develops students' ability to generate, control and aesthetically shape their body during flight phases in gymnastics, progressing from individual technical mastery to collaborative choreography. The focus shifts from understanding the biomechanics of take-off and elevation to creating expressive, synchronised group sequences. Through systematic skill-building and peer evaluation, students develop both physical competence and the analytical vocabulary needed to refine performance.
