This unit develops Year 4 students' fundamental football skills through a carefully structured progression from individual ball mastery to collaborative game play. The emphasis is on building confidence with the ball whilst developing tactical awareness and defensive understanding. Through eight progressive lessons, students transition from solo skill development to applying techniques under pressure in competitive situations, culminating in tournament play where fair play and teamwork are equally valued alongside technical ability.
