Strategic Fundamentals in Play
•Year 3
•Netball
•Distributed around activity area perimeter
Alternative: Size 4 footballs or playground balls if netballs unavailable
Ready for quick distribution during games
Alternative: Coloured bands or sashes
Set up 10m x 10m squares and activity boundaries
Alternative: Markers or bean bags
Placed in centre of activity circles
Alternative: Small cones or chalk marks
A pass where the ball is pushed from chest level using both hands
A pass where the ball bounces once before reaching the receiver
A one-handed pass released from shoulder height, similar to a shot
A two-handed pass released from above and behind the head
Rotating on one foot while keeping the other foot planted
In netball, you must pass within three seconds of receiving the ball
Understanding where pupils are coming from and where they're going
Following complex instructions, developing sports-specific vocabulary, communicating effectively with teammates, giving and receiving feedback constructively
Understanding forces in passing (push/pull), exploring ball trajectory and gravity effects, studying body systems response to exercise, investigating friction on different surfaces
Building teamwork and cooperation skills, developing resilience when facing challenges, learning to win and lose gracefully, building self-confidence through achievement
Move around perimeter of activities for optimal visibility, position at corner during games to see all players, stand centrally during demonstrations
Watch for correct technique development, safety awareness, positive interaction between students, application of taught skills under pressure
Step in immediately for safety concerns, provide technique corrections during practice, offer tactical hints during games, mediate any disputes fairly
Use students as demonstration partners when possible, exaggerate movements for clarity, repeat demonstrations as needed, check understanding with questions
Minimum 30m x 20m hard court area or sports hall, clear of obstacles and hazards
Dry, even surface with good grip - check for wet patches, debris, or damage before use
Stop all activity immediately with whistle signal, assess injury severity, provide appropriate first aid, contact school first aiders/medical support as needed
