This unit introduces Year 3 students to tennis through a carefully scaffolded approach that prioritises fundamental movement and ball control before introducing stroke technique. The emphasis is on building confidence with racket and ball whilst developing the eye-hand coordination essential for future tennis success. Through partner work and collaborative competition, students learn that tennis is as much about working together as it is about individual skill development.
