Why this why now
This unit continues to develop pupils’ understanding of invasion games. Previously, pupils developed a basic understanding of the principles of attack and defence through generic ball games. This essential prior learning is fully transferable into this second invasion unit. Pupils will take a closer look at some of the more sport specific skills in netball, such as developing their motor competence in passing and moving and footwork. Later, pupils will also consider new strategies linked to the basic positions that they haven't explored in the generic unit.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils will know how to pass and move into space.
- Pupils understand why we have to pass and move into a space.
- Pupils can use passing and moving skills to keep possession.
- Pupils can use passing and moving skills to create a scoring opportunity.
- Pupils can apply basic defensive principles in games.
