"When you step out to compete, the training exposes itself. What you did in practice is what shows up on the floor. It's not magic—it's just feedback."
Scott Moir, 3-Time Olympic Gold Medalist Ice DancerDeveloping a physical skill is a journey of consistent effort, adjustments, and patience. The Skill Demonstration is your chance to show the progress you've made throughout this unit. It isn't about performing a flawless movement on the first try; it is an opportunity to reflect on how your preparation has translated into practice, how you've integrated safety protocols to protect yourself and others, and how this skill fits into your overall active living goals.
In your video submission, you will walk through the specific phases of your skill and demonstrate how your training hours have paid off. Use this task to showcase your growth, celebrate your consistency, and share what you have learned about how your body moves.
Video Recording Tip: Set up your recording device on a stable surface or tripod. Make sure your entire body and any relevant equipment are clearly visible, and that the area is well-lit so your teacher can evaluate your form in each phase.
There are four things you need to do in your skill demonstration:
Deliverable:
Submit your 2-3 minute skill demonstration video using the course app submission portal.
Before you submit, please complete the Pre-Submission Self-Assessment.
Video Covering the Three Required Elements (2-3 mins)
We are learning to:
Demonstrate an understanding of movement skills by applying the phases of movement to refine performance
Apply movement strategies and skill choices appropriately within a physical activity context
Demonstrate responsibility for personal safety and the safety of others during physical activity
Use communication and reflection to explain skill use, decision-making, and improvement
I can:
Clearly explain and demonstrate the preparation, execution, and follow-through phases of the skill chosen for my Fitness Plan goal
Apply data and charts from my tracking sheet to show how my skill performance has improved over time
Identify and demonstrate how to perform the skill safely, including taking the right precautions for myself and others

Movement Understanding & Skill Execution (Knowledge/Understanding)
How effectively does the student explain and demonstrate the phases of movement and apply them to refine skill performance?
|
Consistently explains and demonstrates all phases of movement with a high degree of accuracy and control | Usually explains and demonstrates the phases of movement accurately and applies them effectively | Sometimes explains and demonstrates the phases of movement with partial accuracy or consistency | Seldom explains or demonstrates the phases of movement accurately |
|
Application of Movement Strategies (Application)
How effectively does the student apply the skill within the context of the activity?
|
Selects and applies the skill very effectively, clearly enhancing performance or participation | Selects and applies the skill effectively within the activity | Applies the skill with some effectiveness or limited connection to the activity context | Applies the skill with limited effectiveness or inappropriate connection to the activity |
|
Safety & Responsibility (Application)
How effectively does the student demonstrate responsibility for safety during physical activity?
|
Consistently demonstrates and clearly explains safe practices that protect self and others | Usually demonstrates and explains appropriate safe practices | Sometimes demonstrates safe practices, with minor omissions or inaccuracies | Seldom demonstrates or explains safe practices |
|
Communication & Reflection (Communication)
How clearly does the student communicate their understanding and reflect on their skill use and progress data?
|
Communicates ideas clearly and confidently, with thoughtful reflection on skill execution, data-backed improvement, and progress chart analysis | Communicates clearly, with appropriate reflection on skill execution and progress data trends | Communicates with some clarity, with limited or general reflection on progress data | Communicates unclearly, with minimal reflection |
