Medium Term Plan - Football - Year 6

The Year 6 football scheme of work, spanning six lessons, aims to develop students' football skills in various situations, with a focus on both individual technique and team dynamics. The curriculum is structured to enhance the pupils' understanding of offensive and defensive strategies, decision-making, tactical play, and the impact of exercise on their health and teamwork abilities. Over the course of the programme, children will gain knowledge about the fundamental principles of attack, such as utilising space effectively, and they will learn to apply game rules within their play.

The skills honed during these lessons include passing, receiving, dribbling, ball control, and shooting, all of which are essential components of the game. Students will build on these skills progressively, starting with simple actions and gradually introducing pressure from opponents to simulate real-game scenarios. The curriculum also emphasises the importance of abiding by rules and the role they play in maintaining fair play. As part of their personal development, pupils will learn about sportsmanship, British values related to sports, and the significance of maintaining physical and mental fitness. The programme concludes with an assessment of the students' ability to apply their learned skills in gameplay, including an inter-class football competition to showcase their progress.
