Why this why now
Pupils already know why we have to aim at space using accurate throwing skills in order to beat an opponent. In this unit, pupils have the opportunity to expand on their understanding of net based games and begin some basic paddle work as they develop forehand and backhand techniques with increasing competence. Once pupils can control a ball with a paddle, they will explore the concept of creating space for the next shot, in order to beat their opponent.
