SamHolmes Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I asked to do trials for my coureswork, we have to write up a 6 week training thing but Im not allowed...Guess I'll do football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I doubt they'll let you do trials. Don't think they'll let anyone do 'extreme sprots' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyJames Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I took the GCSE in year 10 (2005/04) and only common sports i.e football, tennis etc were allowed. However I believe my younger brother who is now taking it is using skating as one of his options. Obviously ask your teachers first but if no luck, phone up the education board and ask them directly. If not, football/rounders are really easy to get top grades in so just put in some practice and you will be laughing. Lates, Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialbiking Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i have just left school, and i did gcse pe, they let me do my 6 week training programme on trials, had to pull a few strings, no problem really though, just based the exercises on the muscles used in trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 im in year 12, and for my Gcse coursework i had to teach someone else a sport, i chose tennis. And i have just finished my 1st yr 12 AS pe which was a personal exercise programme (PEP) and they let you do any sport that you like, cos my mate did it. you must do a differant system to us, but you can do Trials as long as your able to justify every thing and if the coursework is aimed on improvment in the sport then just show improvment or lie like most people do.

Simpson Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Meh i tried but they wouldnt let me but you can use trials to your advantage e.g. gym, expolsive power ballence and such makes it piss easy in yr. 11 im doingBadmintion - 117/120Football - 110 / 120Gym 71 / 80Rugby 65 / 80 i think its about 2 marks off an A but then again didnt / havent done any CW (i plan to when i no longer intend to go out riding ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiffnips Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have also asked to do trials but its not aloud so i'm doing babminton i don't mind really though i don't really plan on passing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 It's nothing to do with PE, but for my English 'Speaking and Listening presentation' i brought my bike in and explaind the parts on it that were different to a normal bike ie. the no saddle, small chainring, wide handlebars, etc... and i showed a video of me doing some tricks and said what the tricks were. i got a high B which is my best English grade.anyway i wouldn't have thought youd be allowed to do Trials as your sport for pe cos it's not the same type of sport, it needs to be one of the one that the teachers know the rules of and it actually needs to have rules in the first place.Mike!!!

Trials mama Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 hey, im in year 10, and studying btec sport, like the intense version of gcse pe, i did a health and safety leaflet on trials and came out with a clear distinction. i dont see why it would be a problem, just because it isnt a main stream sport such as football or rugby, doesnt mean those who participate cant share.well try it dude thats all i can say good luckeddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el curevo Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I asked if i could do downhilling and my teacher really took an intrest and was well up for me doing it. He thought it was a brilliant idea, after showing him pictures of me and some DH vids he thought it was a brilliant sport, so he looked into it for me. But then he left and the teacher that took over said 'NO its not a sport' I told him about the previous teacher he didnt care so i had to do rugby!! Pants!!

kingspoons Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 heyy i did kayaking as my one of my sports for GCSE PE and was allowed. The examination board has to have a sheet thing for it though. They might have a sheet for normal riding but i doubt whether they would have one for trials as it is not exactly a known sport. They would class it more as a hobbie rather than a "sport". Have a go anyway with your teacher but be nice about it. Tell he/she what its like so they know what to look for on the board.!Spoons!

B.E.A.U Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I asked to do trials for my coureswork, we have to write up a 6 week training thing but Im not allowed...Guess I'll do football they let me do my course work on it but i wasnt aloud to take it for an option. mainly because i dont have a real coach like a swimming club etc. they do let you do extreme sports my ate is doing snow boarding. they tried to get me to do it but i dont think they ley me.

The reason is you have to have a qualified couch in that sport to grade you if its not somethings like football, badminton( well things you can do in school). So unless you can find a qualified couch for trails, which i doubt, you can't do it.If your good at badminton you should do something like tennis, which is is a similar game.

llandudno_trialsboy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 i was thinking of asking to do trials as a sport for my gcse. but had the same problem as el curevo. my pe teacher was very good and was interested in motorcross but hes gone to live in australia. ill ask my new teacher but he'll probably say NO!

T_PRO Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 It would be great if they teached biketrials at schools, and the schools provided the bikes for the lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbjosh Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 there is this lad in my set at school and for his course work he taught kickboxing, he sucks ass and id lamp him haha, so if anything, trials should at least be allowed for a sport for u to be assessed by, and if you got a video for the exam baord etc. aaaah well!

Dai the Socket Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'm not doing PE now, I'm doing other AS levels but when I did my GCSE's last year you couldn't do trials. It's not a recognised sport by the board so it won't be allowed at all.Unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
