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.
