Performance Driven Competition
School X has 200 Pupils in Year 7 Involved in
Performance Driven Competition 17
If 74 hours of extra curricular Performance
Driven Competition hits just 17 of pupils, we
need to rethink who we are targeting and how?

Types of Competitors

• Performance Recreational Social

A young person whose outcome would be to move on
and step up to the next level on the pathway
whose driver is to compete
A young person whose outcome would be to
experience competition and remain active in
competitive sport in school
A young person whose outcome would be around
social engagement, fun and enjoyment through
experiencing competitive sport
13
Types of Competition

• Traditional Modified Alternative

Sports that may not usually be experienced by
young people through competitive sport, for
example Ultimate Frisbee. These sports would
primarily be delivered through Intra-School
competition.
A full format of the competition in its
traditional style, for example 11-a-side
football. This would primarily be experienced
through Inter-School competition.
A small sided or modified version of the
traditional sport, for example Tag-Rugby, which
could be Inter or Intra-School competition.
