Performance Improvement Programme (PIP) – Adaptable for Ages 15–18

This resource provides a clear and adaptable framework for students to design, implement, and evaluate a Performance Improvement Programme (PIP). It can be applied across multiple curricula, including GCSE, A Levels, NCEA, MYPHigh School PE & AP, Provincial and the Australian Curriculum, making it suitable for a wide range of international classrooms.

The programme is designed for students aged 15–18, and can be tailored to suit beginners, intermediate, and advanced learners. It supports both practical performance improvement and theoretical understanding across several key areas:

• Baseline testing and initial assessment
• SMART goal setting linked to performance outcomes
• Motor skill learning principles (stages of learning, feedback, practice structures)
• Sociocultural factors that influence participation, performance, and access to opportunities
• Aspects of wellbeing

Monitoring, reflection, and adaptation to track progress and refine approaches

Final evaluation to measure improvement and connect to strategies for ongoing wellbeing

This resource is flexible enough to be delivered on badminton courts alongside written elements. It not only develops physical performance, but also enhances critical thinking about learning, health, and social influences on participation.

Ideal for teachers seeking a structured yet adaptable framework that encourages student ownership, reflection, and connection between theory and practice.
