Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the following is essential:
plans and delivers information, explanations and demonstrations for volleyball sessions to ensure activities are conducted safely according to participant's needs and characteristics
observes and monitors the progress of participants and provides constructive feedback and intervention to improve and develop the skills of indoor and beach volleyball to an intermediate level
uses and modifies teaching and coaching techniques and drills, activities and games to cater for a range of individual learning styles
evaluates and reflects on own coaching performance to identify strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure conduct of safe drills, activities and games that reflect the needs and characteristics of a range of participants and are of sufficient duration and breadth to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance.
Assessment must also ensure access to:
suitable indoor or beach locations and facilities to conduct sessions
a group of participants to take part in the intermediate volleyball sessions and games
suitably qualified referees
equipment such as nets, volleyball, witches hats, spiking frame, teaching aids and uniforms
resources and information regarding participants and location to accurately plan, coach and document intermediate volleyball sessions for a variety of participants.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of relevant legislation, organisational policies and procedures, and rules and regulations of volleyball to enable safe conduct of all drills, activities and games during the sessions
observation of safe coaching of volleyball skills to an intermediate level and monitoring and adjusting instructional techniques according to participant's needs, characteristics and responses
portfolio of session plans and self-evaluations
third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
SISSVOL302A Teach the intermediate tactics and strategies of volleyball.
