Year 11 Physical Education with Academy - Hockey

Year 11 -  Academy of Sport

A hybrid course, that will focus on Physical Education and sport specific skill development during the school timetable (6 day cycle).

The Academy of Sport aims to develop the skills, attitude, fitness, fundamental movement patterns, and tactical awareness of each member of the group. These skills will be essential if the student is to reach the goal of playing premier sport for Westlake. 

The Year 11 course is a step up from Year 10 Academy of Sport course focusing on ongoing development of key sport specific skills, performance culture, character, leadership and holistic behaviours associated with successful long-term athlete development.

There are two Academy of Sport (coaching) sessions within the 6 day cycle. Students will receive age and stage appropriate sessions delivered by expert coaches in all technical, tactical, physical and mental components to ensure each member of the group can realise their potential in the current school year.

One strength and conditioning lesson per 6 day cycle will take place in our purpose-built fitness centre and will primarily focus on embedding fundamental movement skills, conditioning and strength development.

The program will include:

• One Strength and Conditioning session per cycle
• Two Sports specific sessions per cycle
• Three Physical Education lessons per cycle
