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 safely get on/off a trampoline and perform basic shapes whilst jumping with control.
Key Notes
- Move: aiming for the cross with body tension when jumping will keep the body upright and avoid going off at an angle.
- Move: safely getting off the trampoline requires sitting down and sliding off as opposed to jumping off.
- Think: standing close to the trampoline with hands up to spot increases awareness.
- Feel: building confidence in getting on and off the trampoline safely will enhance your overall comfort and performance.
- Connect: spotting others demonstrates teamwork by offering support and ensures safety.
Vocabulary To Learn
- spotting: is a safety precaution of having people positioned around the edge of the trampoline to ensure the performer does not fall off and get injured
- twist: rotating the body around its vertical axis while in the air
- out bounce: a straight jump performed at three-quarters height as the final jump in a trampoline routine
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils believe twisting on the vertical axis is pointless as they are keen to do tricks which are often completed around the horizontal axis.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: aiming for the cross with body tension when jumping will keep the body upright and avoid going off at an angle. Move: safely getting off the trampoline requires sitting down and sliding off as opposed to jumping off.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'spotting'
is a safety precaution of having people positioned around the edge of the trampoline to ensure the performer does not fall off and get injured.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils believe twisting on the vertical axis is pointless as they are keen to do tricks which are often completed around the horizontal axis. Correction: Learning to twist is fundamental to overcome possible anxiety when in motion and not being able to see the cross. In addition, more challenging techniques include a twist at the start or the end, so the motor programme is required to build on this.
