I don’t know that he’s a Geelong fan but he looks a lot like Joel Selwood. He needed 11 stitches to his fore- head wound. That patch of blood looks like a map of Tasmania ! 5 Masterpieces The XCR (cross country & road) season is now completed and while the final results have not yet been published, with one round to go our teams were placed as follows : Our Division 4 Men’s team is in 4th place (out of 14) and our Division 7 team is 2nd. Unfortunate- ly we have not had enough Women competing to get meaningful results but we hope to rectify that next season. Keep in mind that you will be welcome to join our teams either in next year’s XCR or the Track and Field team starting 5th October. The program for the 2019/2020 Athletics Victoria Track and Field competition has been released and is now to be called AVSL - Ath- letics Victoria Shield League.

At first reports he was going well al- though he was much more concerned about his beloved Tigers and having the anaesthetic wear off in time to watch the game. Tony Johnson has also had a knee re- placement in the last few weeks. He’s been at parkrun the last two weeks itching to get back into it. 6 Masterpieces HAPPY 95th JIMMY !! Jim Sinclair celebrated his 95th Birthday at Springvale - Noble Park recently and then flew to Mackay to compete in the Oceania Championships just as all 95 year olds would do. Jim ran the 60m; 100m and 200m on the brand new Mackay track. Congratulations Jim, you’re a marvel. 7 Masterpieces NEWS FROM EAST BURWOOD Hawley Thomas 3 x 2000 m relay The second annual Hawley Thomas Relay was held on a cold, but clear night on 22nd August.

    Lesson Plans Introduction The following section provides twenty-seven ready-to-implement lesson plans for teachers. The section is divided into four smaller sub-sections. • Early Stage 1 (5 year olds) • Stage 1 (6/7 year olds) • Stage 2 (8/9 year olds) • Stage 3 (10 years and LAANSWabove) ASAP Level 3 Each sub-section contains lesson plans suitable for children in these age groups. The lesson plans assume classes of up to thirty students and a time limit of 30-45 minutes, however a teacher can adapt the ideas to suit their particular circumstances. Each lesson plan generally follows the same format, being: Aim; Equipment; Warm Up; Skill Development; Games. In relevant places, topics such as safety aspects and various hints that will help the teacher organise and conduct a successful lesson are included. The lesson plans at times assume prior learning, ie. that the children have participated in the skill development activities contained in preceding lessons designed for the earlier levels. The activities featured in the lesson plans are based on fun, skill development, maximum group participation and a sound, logical progression. The lesson plans form the foundation of a class athletics unit. 3 29 Early Stage 1 Lesson Plans • Running - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 • Jumping - Lesson 1 - LessonLAANSW 2 ASAP Level 3 • Throwing - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 30 Early Stage 1 Running Lesson Plan Lesson 1 Introduction to basic running technique Introduction to relays Ground markers x 30 Relay batons x 5 Warm Up 1.

  • Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A

    Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A

    Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A. National Standards are those performance levels for which standard badges may be purchased at the National Championships. Entry Standards are the minimum performance levels normally required for an athlete to be selected for a County Team for the National Championships. County Standards correspond to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing in a County Championship meeting. District Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a District Championship meeting. These may need amendment to suit the variations in type of District Championship staged. School Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a School Championship meeting. Except for Year 7 and 8 tables - the age groups, events and event specifications are as set out in the Track and Field Competition Rules. Years 7 and 8 The variety of events and specifications is offered in order to cater for the intense athletic interest and for the rapid physical changes which take place at this stage. It is stressed that success in the initial teaching of athletics stems from the understanding that the physical challenge to the pupil should not exceed that which can be comfortably handled. All children, therefore, should be started with light implements and low hurdles, and be allowed to progress as appropriate to themselves. This will almost certainly create some problems of organisation at school level, but these are NOT insurmountable. The Standards shown for younger age groups and for School and District level are being re-worked to match the Awards Scheme.
