Medium Term Plan - Netball - Year 6

The Year 6 netball medium-term plan, spanning six lessons, is meticulously crafted to enhance students' netball abilities within various contexts, both with and without defensive pressure. The curriculum aims to instil a fundamental understanding of invasion strategies to facilitate attacking play, alongside decision-making and tactical application during games. Additionally, the plan seeks to enlighten students on the impact of exercise on health and to foster teamwork and leadership competencies.

Throughout the course, students will acquire knowledge about the core principles of netball, such as invasion to attack, tactical decision-making, and rule application. The skills focus is broad, encompassing passing, receiving, ball handling, footwork with pivoting, dodging, and shooting. The learning trajectory is designed to progress from basic ball skills to more complex game play, which includes managing opposition pressure and operating in diverse team roles while adhering to established rules. This structured approach not only aims to refine physical skills but also encourages mental development through strategic thinking and problem-solving in game situations. The impact of the programme is measured by the students' ability to perform and apply these skills with increasing proficiency and understanding of game rules, positioning, and tactics.
