Threads

  • Connect: teamwork and leadership
  • Move: application of tactics, strategies and compositional ideas

Description

This unit will develop pupils’ ability to apply the principles of attack vs defence, focussing on how to use their passing, moving and dribbling skills to create shooting opportunities as well as defensive principles to stop an attack. Pupils will work together in teams to create simple tactics.

The unit will extend pupils’ understanding of invasion games, developing the principles of attack and defence. This invasion unit builds on prior learning by looking at the application of dribbling in attack, as well as defending as a team to stop the opposition’s attack. The focus will be through a ball skills lens as opposed to focusing on a specific sport to continue to enable the effective transfer of skills across multiple sports and activities. Later, pupils will have the opportunity to work together in teams to design tactics and strategies as they attempt to beat their opponents.
