Organised sports and physical activity participation means taking part in planned, rule-based activities such as school sports, community leagues, house competitions, and club training. In Ghana, learners meet these activities in inter-house sports, school teams (football, athletics, volleyball, handball), community parks, and traditional games. Knowing how to apply movement concepts, principles, and strategies helps learners to: perform skills safely and effectively, cooperate and include others (including learners with different abilities), build confidence through small-group competitions, track improvement and stay physically active.
A. What are “Movement Concepts”? Movement concepts are ideas that guide how we move. They help us make good decisions during sports and physical activities. 1) Space (Where you move) Personal space: your own area (e.g., doing a stance or stretch without touching others). General space: shared area (e.g., playing football on the field). Directions: forward, backward, sideways, diagonal. Levels: low (crouch), medium (standing), high (jump). Pathways: straight, curved, zigzag.
Ghana example: In a small-sided football game at school, a winger uses wide space near the touchline to avoid defenders and create a passing option. 2) Time (When you move) Speed: fast, moderate, slow. Timing: moving at the right moment (e.g., intercepting a pass). Rhythm: steady pattern (useful in skipping, aerobics, martial arts forms).
Example: In volleyball, you jump too early for a block and miss the ball. Good timing means jumping as the attacker hits. 3) Effort/Force (How strong you move) Light vs strong force: gentle pass vs powerful shot. Controlled vs explosive: controlled dribble vs sprint. Energy use: pacing yourself to last longer.
Example: In athletics (400 m), if you sprint at maximum speed from the start, you may “die” (get exhausted) before finishing. Pacing helps you finish strong. 4) Relationships (With whom/what you move) With people: teammate support, marking an opponent. With objects: ball control, racket control. With space: staying onside, keeping formation.
