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.
