Developing skills in physical activity – through practical performance
Making and applying decisions – through umpiring and playing a game
Developing physical and mental capacity
Evaluation and improvement – through self and peer assessment
Making informed choices about healthy, active life styles – through
involvement in clubs and an understanding of the health benefits of
