Why this why now
Previously, pupils developed their passing, dribbling and shooting skills, without the focus on a particular sport or activity. This essential prior learning is now completely transferable into this second invasion unit that looks closer at using skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting through basketball. Pupils will be able to take a closer look at some of the more basketball specific rules and techniques such as how to shoot and the rules governing dribbling.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils will know how to pass and move into space.
- Pupils know how to dribble using their hands and feet.
- 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 shooting opportunity.
- Pupils can apply basic defensive principles in games to stop an attack.
