•6 Lessons
This unit introduces Reception students to fundamental ball manipulation skills through a carefully structured progression from rolling to kicking. The emphasis is on developing hand-eye and foot-eye coordination whilst building confidence in handling different types of ball movements. Through partner work and target practice, students develop both motor skills and early cooperative learning behaviours that form the foundation for all future ball sports.
