Seven of our talented sports stars of the Exmoor Link Federation visited SMCC on Monday morning, joining other local schools, to participate in a sports science lesson. As well as taking part in gymnastic, volleyball and athletics sessions, the children learned about the different components of fitness.

By understanding how the body works and the individual components that make up various sporting skills sets, the children were enabled to analyse their own techniques and critique each other’s performance with the use of technology and their new knowledge.

This more in depth look at physical performance will hopefully enable the super seven to enhance their sporting credentials in future sporting ventures.
