This unit builds Year 4 students' understanding of how individual netball skills combine to create effective team attacks. Through progressive skill refinement and tactical awareness development, students learn that successful netball requires coordinated passing, intelligent movement, and accurate shooting. The unit culminates in tournament play where students apply their technical skills within the competitive demands of real game situations.
