•6 Lessons
This unit develops Year 6 students into tactical thinkers who understand invasion games as collaborative puzzles requiring coordinated solutions. The emphasis shifts from individual skill execution to reading the game, anticipating opponents' actions, and creating systematic overloads through intelligent movement and communication. Students explore the chess-like nature of invasion games where positioning, timing, and decision-making become as important as physical ability.
