Varies according to the sporting activities chosen but for example:-

There will be three separate pieces of summative assessment:-
A movement analysis exercise will be performed within the selected sports, assessing LOS 1, 2 & 3

Further assessment details: This is a typical form of assessment in the practical coaching environment where coaches/teachers/ instructors are required to observe a performance and produce a written analysis. This tests the ability to observe, analyse, compare with expectations and apply principles. In this case, students would not know the movement to be assessed and hence would be comparable to an unseen examination.

Additional Assessment Details (including formative feedback / assessment:
This form of assessment can be undertaken in video format in a classroom and in a field setting during practical sessions, hence formative feedback would be a normal part of a weekly session.
The skill would be practiced at regular intervals during contact hours.
