Approved Sporting Activity List
List of activities
OCR has issued the following lists based upon the suitability of activities as a means
of assessing students’ as part of:
These lists are full and final and your students must pick activities from these lists for
inclusion within their qualifications.
Please see section 2 for the list for unit R187 and Unit 18 (LO3)
The inclusion or non-inclusion of an activity in this list does not represent a view on the
legitimacy or value of the activity.
The list has been revised to reflect Ofqual’s principles that non-exam assessment should
ensure sound assessment practice, be manageable, and ensure the qualification is not
easily distorted.
Learners can be assessed in different activities for each of the Learning Outcomes (LOs)
or topic areas. Team activities may not be a team derivative of the individual activity
assessed e.g. You may not take both Tennis and Tennis doubles or team dance and
individual dance. Please see full list of restrictions within the tables above.
R185
Learners need only be assessed in one discipline/position for their chosen activity. For
example, Long jump in Athletics, or Scrum Half in Rugby or Goal Keeper in Football.
Please note that whilst there is no issue with you introducing some of these activities to
students through indoor facilities you must ensure that they do complete the activity in its full
outdoor setting E.g. just doing indoor climbing is not permitted.
The inclusion or non-inclusion of an activity in this list does not represent a view on the
legitimacy or value of the activity.
