Description

This unit will challenge pupils to apply their prior learning of hitting the ball into space and develop their motor competence to perform these skills through tennis. Pupils will develop their ability to serve and to volley, and enjoy applying these skills accurately and consistently in games.

Pupils already have a strong knowledge of how to beat an opponent by creating space for shots and starting to use both forehand and backhand. In this unit, pupils have the opportunity to expand on their understanding of net based games as they develop and apply their understanding through tennis. Pupils will show self motivation to learn how to use forehand and backhand in tennis and later in the unit learn how to execute a serve and a volley, in order to beat their opponent. Pupils will learn to competently execute a range of shots, understanding when and why they need to use them in games.
