Junior Sports Academy

The Year 10 Sport Academy is a stand alone course, it is intended for students who have successfully applied for the Academy to go forward and apply for year 11 PE as one of their options.  There is a nice combination of theory and practical based units of work. Each term there are 2 units of work; one which is predominantly theory based and the other being predominately practical based.

The topics covered throughout the year include; Minor Games, Leadership/Teamwork, ‘Boot Camp’, Design a game, Functional Anatomy, Fitness Studies 1/ Fitness Testing, Mental Skills training/Nutrition, Exercise Physiology and Research.

By the end of the course we want our students to;

  • Produce well balanced individuals who have the skills to study
  • To take Physical Education at a higher level while in school.
  • Have a sound ethical and knowledge base from which to develop and achieve their aspirations in their chosen sport.
  • To develop students within the Academy to be positive role models for other students within the school.
  • Provide education and specialist training for talented sports students who wish to further their sporting potential.
  • To develop students knowledge of the practice and theory of sport.
  • To develop relationships with sport providers, professional athletes and coaches.
