Study Hub
Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will develop skills in isolation and in combination with other techniques as part of a sequence of movements. To demonstrate control, aesthetics and fluency pupils will analyse and provide feedback to their peers. Pupils will also learn the basics about the axes of rotation.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to perform backward rotation progressions culminating in a safe back landing.
Key Notes
- Move: pushing your hips forward will allow your back to land on the cross.
- Move: keeping the head slightly up and eyes open looking at the toes will prevent neck strain.
- Think: timing the upwards momentum of the bounce so the body absorbs impact helps you land safely.
- Feel: believing in your ability and fully committing to the move will decrease the risk of injury and increase success.
- Connect: supporting less confident peers builds empathy for the supporter and belief for the peer being supported.
Vocabulary To Learn
- back landing: a skill where the athlete jumps and lands on their back on the trampoline bed, often followed by a rebound or transition to another move
- consistency: reliably executing a move with the same precision and technique each time, ensuring predictable and successful performance
- combination: a series of different moves or skills performed in sequence, often linking multiple elements together to create a more complex and fluid routine
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think you need to jump backwards to land in a back landing position.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: pushing your hips forward will allow your back to land on the cross. Move: keeping the head slightly up and eyes open looking at the toes will prevent neck strain.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'back landing'
a skill where the athlete jumps and lands on their back on the trampoline bed, often followed by a rebound or transition to another move.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think you need to jump backwards to land in a back landing position. Correction: A back landing can feel quite scary. Jumping backwards can lead to injury and a back landing should only be attempted if your teacher has approved and is confident you will not jump backwards and will push the hips forwards when jumping upwards.
