This unit transforms dodgeball from a simple elimination game into a sophisticated tactical challenge that develops Year 6 students' strategic thinking, team communication, and leadership skills. The emphasis is on developing game intelligence through decision-making under pressure whilst fostering sportsmanship and conflict resolution. Through progressive tactical challenges, students learn to balance individual skills with team strategy, culminating in self-officiated tournament play that demonstrates mature sporting behaviour.
