Later in net and wall games they will learn to apply key principles in table tennis and feel ready to approach any net and wall game with confidence.

  • Pupils understand the skills they need to work with and motivate others.
  • Pupils are able to work with others and take responsibility to offer feedback.
  • Pupils show an appetite from trying new and different games that draw on strategies of attacking and defending in net games.
