This unit systematically builds Year 5 students' netball competence by teaching core skills in isolation before applying them in increasingly complex game situations. Each lesson focuses on a specific technical element - passing, movement, dodging, pivoting, and shooting - while developing tactical awareness of when and why to use each skill. The progressive structure ensures students gain confidence through mastery before facing the cognitive demands of competitive play in the final tournament.
This unit elevates Year 5 students from isolated skill practice to sophisticated game application, focusing on tactical decision-making and competitive play. The emphasis shifts from 'can I perform the skill?' to 'which skill should I use and when?' as students learn to read game situations and respond strategically. Through progressive challenges culminating in tournament play, students develop both technical proficiency and the collaborative skills needed for effective team performance.
This unit develops Year 5 students from individual netball skills into strategic team players who understand both attacking and defensive principles. The progression emphasises tactical thinking alongside technical development, building towards competitive play where students can apply learned concepts under pressure. Through a systematic approach to invasion game principles, students develop the cognitive and physical skills needed for successful netball participation.
This unit develops Year 5 students' netball competence through a progressive journey from individual technique to team tactics. The focus is on mastering essential skills - passing accuracy, footwork rules, and spatial awareness - before applying them in authentic match contexts. Through deliberate practice and structured game play, students build both technical proficiency and tactical understanding whilst developing communication and teamwork capabilities.
