Why this why now

Pupils will already have explored basic skills of batting and running to score as well as bowling and fielding to deny scoring opportunities through an introduction to rounders and cricket. Pupils will now refine these skills to improve accuracy and become increasingly aware of the impact of misfielding. Later in striking and fielding games pupils will apply principles to cricket and learn to compete and to analyse performance to suggest ways to improve.

Prior knowledge requirements

  • Pupils know how to play a range of positions demonstrating a variety of skills including throwing, catching and striking the ball.
  • Pupils understand the basic rules associated with scoring runs and getting players out involved in different striking and fielding games.
  • Pupils are able to apply basic tactics when batting to hit away from fielders and to avoid a mis-field when retrieving a long ball.
  • Pupils show the ability to communicate effectively as a team when making a decision on running and where to field a ball in to.
