Requirement
5. A season in each of your two sports
Required
Eight parts, (a) to (h), for each sport.
Notes and warnings
Deadline. One season, or three months, for each sport. The training program in 5(a) and the chart in 5(b) run throughout it, and 5(h) comes at the end. Start the chart when the season starts, because it documents the whole period.
Tip. Requirement 5 runs for a whole competition season, or three months. Choose your two sports and agree the plan with your counselor (requirement 4) before the season starts, so the training program and the chart can begin with it.
What this is made of
- 5(a). Set up a personal training program
- 5(b). Keep a chart of your training, practice and development
- 5(c). Demonstrate proper technique
- 5(d). The equipment each sport needs
- 5(e). The rules and etiquette of each sport
- 5(f). A diagram of the playing area
- 5(g). Take part in each sport for a season
- 5(h). At the end of the season, share your chart and how you were affected
