Invasion games: principles of attack and defence in netball

6 lessons

Threads

  • Move: movement competence
  • Think: knowledge of rules, tactics, strategies and compositional ideas

Description

The unit will introduce pupils to the principles of attack and defence, with a particular focus on passing, moving and scoring in netball. Pupils will learn how to keep possession and score in order to win a modified game. The unit will also focus on the basic rules of the game to aid understanding.

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.
