Movement Strategies Evaluation

Read the scenario and performance record. Use evidence to evaluate how movement strategies affected safety, efficiency and teamwork. For extended responses, support your judgement with details from the record.

Scenario: The cone-transfer challenge

A group of four is completing a timed team challenge in a sports hall. Each person moves one beanbag from the start zone to the finish zone, weaving around cones and passing through a narrow gate. Team members may communicate, choose their order and decide where to wait, but they must not touch or move the cones. The aim is to complete the task quickly while keeping movement controlled and safe.

Attempt

Strategy and observation

Outcome

Everyone started at once. Two runners reached the narrow gate together and had to stop.

48 seconds; one dropped beanbag; no one was hurt.

The team agreed on a running order and called “clear” before each person entered the gate.

39 seconds; no drops; controlled movement.

One confident runner chose the order and gave all the instructions. A teammate who wanted a slower pace did not speak up.

36 seconds; no drops; the quieter teammate looked uncomfortable.

Analyse and evaluate

Base your responses on the challenge and performance record.

1.Which change most clearly improved the team’s coordination between attempts 1 and 2?

Starting everyone at once
Agreeing on a running order and using a gate-clear call
Letting one runner make every decision
Moving the cones closer together

2.Compare attempts 1 and 2. Give two pieces of evidence that show whether the strategy in attempt 2 was effective.

3.True or false: Attempt 3 was the best overall strategy because it had the fastest time.

TrueFalse

4.Match each strategy with the movement or teamwork effect it is most likely to support.

Agreeing on a running order
Calling “clear” before entering
Inviting everyone to suggest a pace

Helps teammates time their movement safely
Reduces congestion at the narrow gate
Supports inclusion and shared decision-making

5.Name one movement skill used in the challenge and describe one way a participant could adjust it to stay controlled near the narrow gate.

6.What was one limitation of the leadership approach in attempt 3? Suggest one practical way to improve it without losing the team’s focus.

7.Complete the evaluation: A useful measure of success for this challenge is because .

8.Recommend a strategy for a fourth attempt. Explain how it could improve both performance and the experience of every teammate, using evidence from the record.

9.Explain how one strategy from the challenge could transfer to another physical activity, such as a small-sided game, dance sequence or outdoor pursuit.
