Other Work Samples for:

Alex has demonstrated a high level of competence in the fundamental movement skills of overarm throwing and catching. Good control is evident in most aspects of the skills. Alex has a relaxed throwing style which includes focusing on the target, standing side-on and rotating the hips but he tends to over-rotate the shoulder and does not lead with the elbow of the throwing arm. The follow-through is inconsistent but proficiency in catching has been demonstrated in the way Alex moves towards the flight of the ball and absorbs its impact. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard at the end of Stage 2.
