This unit introduces Year 5 students to the tactical complexities of flag football, emphasising strategic thinking, communication, and teamwork alongside fundamental skills. Rather than simply learning American football techniques, students develop as tactical thinkers who understand how individual skills contribute to team success. The progression from basic passing and movement to complex defensive systems mirrors real sporting environments where technical ability must be combined with game intelligence.
