This unit develops Year 2 students' ability to send and receive balls with increasing accuracy and tactical awareness, progressing from cooperative partner work to competitive tournament play. The journey emphasises the dual nature of court games - supporting partners through accurate feeding whilst developing attacking skills to outwit opponents. Through systematic skill development, students build both technical proficiency and strategic thinking essential for invasion and net/wall games.
This unit introduces Year 2 students to fundamental sending and receiving skills with a focus on prediction, body awareness, and early racquet work. Through carefully sequenced activities, students develop the ability to track moving objects, understand their physical strengths, and apply basic racquet control in cooperative and competitive contexts. The unit bridges foundational ball skills with structured game play, emphasising fair play and spatial understanding.
This unit takes Year 2 students on a systematic journey through sending and receiving skills using different body parts and equipment. The progression from whole-body rolling to implement-based control builds confidence whilst developing fundamental movement patterns that underpin all future ball sports. Through carefully sequenced challenges, students develop accuracy, control, and spatial awareness whilst learning to work collaboratively with partners.
