KS4 Fitness booklet - Ever been doing a fitness lesson with KS4 students who just seem to lack motivation or direction?? I have!!! This is why I developed this KS4 fitness booklet, to try and direct my students without having to do a full fitness instructor style lesson as I would with KS3. The booklet includes a range of different training sessions that covers all parts of the body, it includes weight training for use on machines, it includes circuits training sessions each with a different focus, it includes a record sheet if students want to keep track of what they have done (or if you want to keep track of what they have done!), and it includes some more fun and possibly relevant challenges for those students who might even just want to go for a walk on a treadmill. Each of the sessions can be used independently in core lessons depending on your facilities available, or he full booklet could be used to guide fitness training programmes in exam based lessons. To make it more user friendly or adaptable I have included all of the sessions individually as well as in booklet format so you can choose whichever format works best for you or your school without any extra work. Our current use for them is we have a load of each of the individual session plans printed and in wall mounted holders, then our KS4 students can just pick them up in their lessons or after school and do a session completely independently based on a fitness method or component of fitness of their choice. Can also double as a unit of work doing a different session each lesson, or could be used with older KS3 students if facilities and behaviour allow for this.

Resource cards to print and laminate that show almost 80 different balances! Cards are colour coded based on how many people are required (individual, pair, or three), once laminated simply give them to the kids and let them try. Can be used as a warm up task at random, can be used to develop teamwork, can be taught as a full lesson progressing from simple individual balances to complex group balances, the possibilities are endless, and with nearly 80 cards to print and use it will takes weeks if not months of use before any student gets through all of them!

A portfolio of a wide range of sports, with each sport having it’s own dedicated pages that explain things such as: Main teaching points Drills or conditioned games ideas Equipment specifications Pitch layouts Basic tactics Game rules (Please note, not EVERY sport has EVERY one of the things above. Guides for sports such as Basketball cover more skills and tactics, whereas athletics covers equipment specs, track layouts, world record, and a brief description of how you could teach each discipline, but all of them contain lots of useful information that I still use now many years on from qualifying as a teacher. ) These ‘idiot guides’ are ideal for people early on in their career, or for anyone starting to teach any of these sports where they don’t have a lot of experience. These will not be relevant for experienced teachers who are looking for more advanced drills but would be ideal for ITT, ECT or less confident staff who may want to try and upskill themselves in a new sport. These were put together from my own experience of teacher training and a wide range of level 1 and 2 NGB coaching courses. Each different sport has things that I found particularly useful and drills that I still use now, or modified versions of these. Idiot guides are included for the following sports: Athletics Badminton Basketball Climbing Cricket (Game resource cards available separately) Football Netball Orienteering (Site cards available separately) Rounders Rugby x 2 Softball/Teeball Table Tennis Volleyball

Three mini cricket games that students can play during lessons. Each one comes with a written walkthrough and a colourful diagram. Formatted to be able to print double sided on A3 or A4 and then laminate and give out to students during lessons. Have used these with all KS3 year groups and they work fantastically as independent games where students are responsible for setting up and running their own games - promotes independence and resilience as well as giving you as the teacher time to do some targetted intervention or teaching with key groups. Three games are clock cricket, modified quick cricket, and pairs cricket. For the pairs cricket it also includes a separate score sheet that can be given to any non participants to keep them involved as an umpire.

9 Lessons of practical fitness activities that can used as a unit of work, one off wet weather lessons, or taught alongside KS4 theory content. All lessons are resourced and explained where necessary - circuit training cards are obviously self explanatory. All resources in word format so can be edited or amended based on equipment you have available. MOST sessions require minimal or basic equipment such as cones, floor mats and benches but SOME require more specialist PE equipment such as boxercise which requires gloves and pads, and some circuits that require basic weights (dumbells or barbells) or agiliy ladders/hurdles. Most equipment can be adapted though such as at our school we use rounders posts for agility poles!

Provided in word/power point format so easily adapted to add or change any categories.
