This unit develops Year 6 students into tactical basketball players who understand the interplay between attacking and defending principles. Moving beyond basic skills, students learn to read the game, make strategic decisions under pressure, and apply combined skills in authentic competitive contexts. The progression from possession-based play to tournament application ensures students experience basketball as a dynamic, thinking game where tactics matter as much as technique.
