This unit develops Year 4 students' understanding of cricket as a strategic game where batting, bowling, and fielding skills must work together. Rather than treating cricket as a single activity, students explore each role separately before integrating skills in game contexts. The emphasis on technique, partnership working, and tactical awareness prepares students for modified cricket games whilst building confidence in this traditionally complex sport.
