Dodgeball

•8 Lessons
This unit transforms traditional dodgeball into a sophisticated learning experience where Year 4 students develop tactical thinking alongside fundamental movement skills. Rather than focusing purely on elimination, the emphasis is on strategic play, fair competition, and using technical skills to support team success. Through progressive skill-building and rule application, students learn to analyse game situations and make informed decisions about when to attack, defend, or support teammates.
