Why this why now

Pupils will already know the correct technique and relevant rules for basketball from key stage 3 PE. This unit builds upon this by providing the opportunity to evaluate technique and practise some observation and analysis skills.

This unit will help to prepare students for the practical GCSE moderation in Year 11.
