INTRODUCTIONA critical component of the AFL’s strategy is to enhance the presence of Australia’s Indigenous game in schools by providing opportunities for all students to participate and engage with the game� A key element of achieving this is by providing teachers with engaging and user-friendly resources� This curriculum resource guide which has been developed by teachers will provide you with the knowledge and confidence to facilitate AFL Active within your secondary school curriculum�
AFL Active has been modelled to suit your fitness and health unit needs to deliver:
• A group fitness session that promotes a friendly, social and fun way to improve student health and wellbeing;
• A constantly changing, high-intensity total body workout based on AFL principles and techniques;
• A versatile program that can be delivered anywhere;
• A program that is accommodating to all fitness levels;
• Each lesson plan runs 40 mins and can be adapted to suit individual class needs�
The resource provides a complete unit plan for years 9/10� Importantly the resource has been shaped and is reflective of the Health and Physical Education propositions of the Australian Curriculum that are informed by a strong and diverse research base for a futures-oriented curriculum�
The resource:
• Values movement; • Focuses on educative purposes; • Takes a strengths-based approach; • Develops health literacy; • Includes a critical inquiry approach�
Information about other Australian Football programs and resources can be found on the AFL Schools website, afl.com.au/schools� If you require any assistance in relation to AFL Active or any other Australian Football program or resource, please contact AFL Development staff in your respective area�

Cones (four per pair) Footballs (one between two)
EQUIPMENT
1 Students stand opposite each other in pairs, forming two lines approx. five metres apart (students each stand next to a cone (have a stack of two cones next to each student)�
2 Students will work continuously for each exercise in pairs� One student is always working� While one completes the activity, the other one rests�
3 The student with the football is the one who is working� The ball must be rolled back and forth to signal the ‘active’ participant in activities�
4 Students will complete a series of exercises from 1-20 reps taking turns in their pair to complete reps� Eg. first student will complete one rep, roll the ball to second student who will then complete one rep� The second student will roll the ball back to the first student, who then completes two reps� This will continue until they reach 20 reps�
ACTIVITY 10 MINS EXERCISES
1 Jump squats: bring ball up above head when jumping with both feet off the ground� Soft feet landing�
2 Burpees: From standing, into push-up position, then explode back up with the ball in hand, then above head when jumping up�
3 Sit up: Lying down on ground, legs straight, arms straight over head holding the ball, bend knees and bring to chest with arms meeting knees while continuing to hold the ball�
4 Jump lunges: Holding the ball, right leg in front at 90 degrees, back leg at 90 degrees, knee close to ground, hold ball out in front over right knee and rotate to the right (each jump = one rep)�
5 Oblique crunches: Sitting on ground, knees slightly bent, holding ball in front, rotate the ball from side to side touching the ground with the ball, keeping eye on the ball�

ACTIVITY
1 Same formation as previous activity� 2 Students take top cone off and take five steps back
behind cone, still facing their partner and place cone down (there should be four long lines of cones now)�
3 Students complete some partner lane work drills with the ball, continuously moving�
4 Students stand facing each other at their original cones, one student has the ball�
5 Students start by rolling the ball to each other� Student must pick up ball at front cone, roll back to partner then run backwards, still facing partner, around cone and back to front cone to retrieve ball from partner again�
10 MINS FIGURE 8s
1 Combine two pairs to form a group of four with one ball in each group�
2 Two students stand at front cones facing each other with one person holding the ball�
3 They throw or handball the ball back and forth� 4 Meanwhile the other two students run in a figure 8
around the two students (using the back cones as a guide) and, if they are in a position to, intercept the ball and pass back to stationary thrower�
5 Teacher to stop activity for students to swap roles�
MODIFICATION • Swap skill back to rolling the ball and figure 8 students
pick up and intercept and pass back to stationary thrower�
MODIFICATIONS • Students complete one burpee
or jump squat at back cone before jumping up and returning to front cone to retrieve ball�
• Teacher calls ‘right’ or ‘left’ and all students in the line move one cone in that direction�
• Change activity to handball/throwing the ball if students feel comfortable while still moving from cone to cone�

ACTIVITY
1 Students to jog/walk around the oval (boundary line) in pairs handballing the football between each other�
2 Students are to brainstorm the benefits of physical activity for different stages of the lifespan (each pair is given a different stage)�
Stages of the lifespan:
• Childhood • Adolescence • Early adulthood • Middle age • Late adulthood
3 When students return to the start, they swap pairs with someone of a different stage of the lifespan and share what they believe are the benefits and continue to brainstorm�
6 MINS STRETCHING IN GROUP
1 Students form a circle in the middle of the oval (centre square)�
2 One ball is given to a student who has to choose a stretch to perform�
3 Hold stretch for 30 seconds (stretch both sides of the body)�
4 Student then rolls the ball to another student across the circle who then demonstrates another stretch for the rest of the group�
5 Continues for approx� four minutes and enables a discussion and review of the session and how physical activity can benefit different stages of the lifespan.

EXAMPLE EXERCISES:
• Sumo squats – legs wide, toes pointed outwards, ball held between legs as drop into squat�

6 Set up agility ladder on boundary line between mats and start of 50m line�
CIRCUIT 1 Split class into two groups and have
students choose a starting point in the circuit (where students are staggered at different activities)�
2 Students move in same direction to complete activities in order of set-up instructions (left side of field will be anti-clockwise/right side of field will be clockwise)�
3 Students complete activities in a series without stopping, with the aim of completing three full circuits before a break�
CIRCUIT ACTIVITIES 1 Starting from the agility ladder as
an example� 2 Students handball a footy to person
waiting at end of ladder before using a footwork pattern from the warm-up to run through the ladder�
3 From here, students mark a ball from someone at the start of the ladder before running to hurdles and complete either leap/jump/side jump over each hurdle while holding ball�
4 Students then move to cones, while facing the goalposts, side step from cone to cone, touching the ball to each cone before progressing�
5 Students then move to top of goalsquare, place ball down and complete 20 star jumps�
6 Students then pick up ball and kick a goal before retrieving it and moving to mats at side of goals�
7 Students complete 30 oblique twists with the ball, touching the ball to ground each rep (follow ball with their eyes)�

1 Students are divided into two groups, all given a number in each team (sequential), eg� each team has number 1, 2, 3 etc�
2 Students can move within the forward 50 at one end of the field.

5 The other group’s aim is to intercept the ball to then start passing in sequence�
6 The ball can be handballed or kicked� 7 If a student from the defending group intercepts and
is number 4, the sequence starts from there, with the aim to get the ball to all group members in order before it returns to number 4�
