This unit develops Year 5 students from fundamental handball skills into tactical, thinking players who can make strategic decisions under pressure. The progression emphasises the relationship between individual technique and team success, building from basic control and passing to sophisticated deception tactics and competitive play. Through increasingly complex game situations, students learn to combine physical skill with tactical awareness and effective communication.
This unit develops Year 5 students as tactical thinkers who understand handball as a problem-solving game requiring coordinated team play. Moving beyond basic skills, students explore how passing accuracy, intelligent movement, and defensive organisation combine to create and deny scoring opportunities. The progression from technique refinement to tournament play ensures students experience handball as both individual challenge and collaborative team sport.
