Criterion C must be assessed in performance/playing situations.

A students ability to recall and apply skills and techniques effectively could include: accuracy, efficiency,
control, coordination, timing, fluency, speed and power.
A students ability to recall and apply strategies and movement concepts effectively could include: the use of
space, force and flow of movement and adaptation to various situations.
A students ability to recall and apply information to perform effectively could include: reading the situation,
processing information, responding to feedback and making appropriate decisions. Depending on the nature
of the activity, these sorts of characteristics should be considered.
Criterion C is not appropriate for assessing replication of movement routines and umpiring/ refereeing
