Why this why now
Pupils will already have sharpened their team working skills and ability to manage conflict in different situations. Learning how to organise tournaments and support each other to perform at their best will help cement prior learning in a new context. Pupils can take these skills, experiences and positive attitudes towards participation in a range of net and wall games into life with confidence and consequently lead healthy, active lives beyond school. They will also be able to spectate and socialise in and around competitive sport with an appreciation and understanding of how to play.

- Pupils are able to use a drive the ball over the net to bounce on their opponent's side of the table.
- Pupils show an ability to focus and accurately replicate a serve allowing the ball to hit the bat and bounce on both sides of the table.
