TME Performance Football Years 10–11 | Ages 14–16 | KS4

TME Performance Football is a seven-lesson Scheme of Learning designed for Years 10–11 Core PE. It helps pupils refine technical performance, understand team systems and adapt their decisions during increasingly demanding competitive situations.

The programme begins with passing, receiving and creating an effective diamond support shape. Pupils then develop dribbling, moving tackles and transition before applying distance shooting and goalkeeper distribution. Later lessons introduce seven-a-side positions, team discipline, pressing triggers, compact defence and counterattacking. The final phase uses tactical match play, assessment and competitive games in which pupils analyse opposition shape and make evidence-informed adaptations.

The 16-page resource contains two curriculum and assessment pages, seven one-page lesson plans and seven matching lesson infographics. Its opening pages establish the Core PE context, learning journey, prior learning, Know and Show outcomes, vocabulary, inclusive delivery and Head–Heart–Hands assessment standards.

Every lesson provides:

• Head, Heart and Hands learning objectives
• Timed Warm-up, Explore, Develop, Apply and Plenary phases
• Detailed pitch sizes, formations, team numbers and equipment organisation
• Clear technical and tactical coaching points
• Conditioned games that reward intelligent movement and decisions
• STEP differentiation for support and additional challenge
• AfL linked to possession, transition, defensive organisation and tactical impact
• SEND and EAL guidance with purposeful coach, analyst, goalkeeper and official roles
• Explicit contact, tackling and playing-area safety
• Plan–Monitor–Reflect prompts and tactical oracy sentence stems

The result is an engaging programme that moves pupils beyond basic skill practice towards independent, thoughtful and responsible football performance.
