This unit develops Year 6 students into confident, tactical football players by systematically building technical skills before integrating them into competitive match play. The progression from individual ball mastery through to tournament application ensures students develop both the physical competence and tactical awareness needed for invasion games at upper Key Stage 2. By dedicating specific lessons to specialist roles (defending, goalkeeping), the unit ensures all students understand positional responsibilities and team dynamics.
