This unit introduces Year 4 students to tennis through a carefully structured progression from basic racket control to competitive match play. The emphasis is on building technical confidence with both forehand and backhand strokes whilst developing the tactical awareness needed for rallies and competition. Through cooperative and competitive contexts, students learn that tennis success depends equally on personal skill mastery and partnership with opponents to create engaging rallies.
