This unit introduces Year 1 students to fundamental ball handling through a systematic exploration of different body parts and movement patterns. The emphasis is on developing a sense of 'ball friendship' - treating the ball as a partner rather than an object to be forced. Through playful investigation and gentle progression, students build confidence with rolling, catching, kicking, and dribbling whilst developing whole-body coordination and spatial awareness.
This unit introduces Year 1 students to fundamental object manipulation skills through both feet and hands, building confidence with different body parts for ball control. The progression moves from individual skill development to partner work, emphasising control, accuracy, and spatial awareness. Through playful exploration and guided practice, students develop the coordination foundations essential for future games and sports.
This unit introduces Year 1 students to fundamental ball handling skills through engaging, accuracy-focused activities that build confidence and control. The emphasis is on using hands purposefully to send, stop, and control balls whilst developing spatial awareness and basic tactical understanding. Through progressive challenges, students discover how whole-body coordination enhances accuracy, laying essential foundations for future invasion games and team sports.
This unit introduces Year 1 students to controlling balls with their hands through progressive skill development that builds towards simple tactical understanding. The emphasis is on developing hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and early game concepts through engaging, age-appropriate activities. Through systematic progression from individual control to partner cooperation, students develop both physical competence and tactical thinking that forms the foundation for future invasion games.
This unit introduces Year 1 students to controlling a ball with their feet through playful exploration and skill-building games. The focus is on developing confidence and basic technique while building spatial awareness in a safe, supportive environment. Through progressive activities, students transition from solo exploration to partner challenges, laying foundations for future invasion games.
