Show a reasonable level of skill in your sport or pursuit.
Show how you’ve improved over time.
-
Explain the rules or guidelines that govern the sport or pursuit you chose.
-
Show how you would prepare before taking part in your sport or pursuit.
You could run through any special equipment or clothes you need and any warm-up and warm-down routines.
-
Explain how to care for the equipment you use.
Explain what you should look out for when the equipment is nearing the end of its life.
Tips
-
You can gain more than one Physical Recreation badge for different sports or pursuits.
-
Sports that young people play after school or at weekends can count towards number 1 although normal PE or games lessons do not.
