Criterion A: Developing Movement Concepts and Motor Skills

Maximum 10

This criterion refers to the student's level of performance and application of a variety of skills required across a range of activities. Different activities will demand a different set of motor skills. The higher levels of achievement on this criterion are characterised by competence in a wide variety of skills for the given activity. Excellence in a single skill does not merit the award of the highest levels of achievement.
