Totnes Progressive School - Activities KS3 - Year 9
During Year 9 students develop their ability through the learning and execution of advanced skills. These skills are used in conjunction with the delivery of strategies, tactics, compositional principles and performance management. The aim is to enable the students to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the respective sports. Students will engage in practise situations designed to facilitate the development of their whole performance as opposed to isolated skills.
