Fundamental Movement Skills Programme

Week Two

Warm up
Dynamic movements
Through cones, forward, lateral, combinations.
Differentiated approach with stop/ rolling skill if appropriate to group.

Main Theme
Throwing
(Co-ordination, balance and agility) E.g., under arm feed to wall/ target, to partner, repeat over arm. Wrist flick, elbow flick – to full throws. Stable base, high elbow etc. Progression into chase and retrieve stationery/moving ball. (Theory can be brought in here regarding the boundary etc. if time allows and the group are receptive.)

Game Activity
Lord's Game
Pull or drive, fed by coach fielders standing back behind a designated line (indicated by cones) encouraged to return the ball to the coach over arm.
Although the group have had no hitting practice the coach should ensure that all children “HIT” the ball even if this means providing a large cone for the ball to be hit off.

Comments
During the warm up an added task for the pupils is for tennis balls to be placed on tall cones for them to run through thus incorporating awareness of environment and conditions into this task.
