A learner may find it difficult to coordinate the movement while keeping control of the object. The instructions help by giving a clear setup and action to follow.

  • Remember the starting position: Stand five metres behind the ball and focus on it; run towards it.
  • Practise the main movement: Place the non-kicking leg beside the ball; kick with the inner or top part of the foot; swing the arms sideways and follow through.
  • Concentrate on: Ball focus, foot placement and a smooth follow-through.
Explanation

Breaking the activity into clear steps helps the learner practise one part at a time instead of guessing.

12 A teacher asks students to explain Kicking to a new classmate. Write a clear explanation including the setup, main action, goal and one useful practice tip. 4 marks
Model answer

Kicking is an activity in which students follow a particular arrangement and practise a defined movement. The task should be completed by following its rules and paying attention to the stated skill focus.

  • Setup: Stand five metres behind the ball and focus on it; run towards it.
  • Main action: Place the non-kicking leg beside the ball; kick with the inner or top part of the foot; swing the arms sideways and follow through.
  • Goal or scoring: Send the ball in the intended direction with a controlled kick.
  • Practice tip: Ball focus, foot placement and a smooth follow-through.
Explanation

Explaining an activity well means describing not only the movement but also how it begins, what students are trying to do and what they should pay attention to.

14 Compare the role of preparation and movement in Kicking. 3 marks
Model answer

Preparation gives students the correct position and equipment, while the movement is the action they practise. Both are needed for the activity to work as described.

  • Preparation: Stand five metres behind the ball and focus on it; run towards it.
  • Movement: Place the non-kicking leg beside the ball; kick with the inner or top part of the foot; swing the arms sideways and follow through.
  • The preparation makes the movement possible to perform in an organised way.
Explanation

The question checks whether students can distinguish the starting arrangement from the skill itself.

15 After observing Kicking, what would you tell a student who wants to improve? Give a practical, source-based plan. 4 marks
Model answer

The student should practise by following the stated arrangement, repeating the central movement carefully and checking the key focus point. Improvement should come from controlled practice rather than changing the activity's basic rules.

  • Start with the correct setup: Stand five metres behind the ball and focus on it; run towards it.
  • Repeat the main action: Place the non-kicking leg beside the ball; kick with the inner or top part of the foot; swing the arms sideways and follow through.
  • Check the focus point: Ball focus, foot placement and a smooth follow-through.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Practise using both legs alternately.
Explanation

A useful plan connects the source's setup, movement, focus and suggested variation instead of giving unrelated advice.
