Tennis
•Year 4
•6 Lessons
This unit systematically builds tennis competency by integrating technical skill development with tactical awareness from the very first lesson. Rather than teaching shots in isolation, students develop movement patterns, court positioning, and decision-making alongside stroke technique. The emphasis on 'why' positioning matters and 'how' tactics influence shot selection creates engaged learners who understand tennis as a thinking sport, not just a collection of techniques.
