Sport Focused
The Preps are starting to find competence in all the individual sport skills. Amongst other skills, they find it increasingly easy to confidently bounce a ball up to a hoop and shoot a basket; or dribble a hockey ball and pass it to a teammate.
There are a number of exercises that include partner work to provide the children with an introduction to team work. They are learning to work together as a unit to achieve a common goal while taking on leadership roles.

What Your Child Will Achieve
This programme deals with the refinement of skills. There is greater emphasis on the quality of each movement. The programme includes a wide range of specialised sports skills, formalised sports drills and a large amount of partner work, which lays the foundation for competent sport participation and team selection.
