Ages 9–12 (Late Foundation Phase)

Focus: More structured development of movement patterns, basic technique, and coordination under mild fatigue.

SAQ Training:
✅ More systematic speed and agility drills start here (e.g., ladders, cones, shuttle runs, reaction drills).
✅ Emphasis on proper technique (e.g., acceleration mechanics, deceleration control).
