Medium Term Plan - Basketball - Year 11

The comprehensive medium-term plan for Year 11 basketball at Key Stage 4 is designed to span six lessons, with the intent to refine core skills and apply them in competitive and physically demanding drills. The programme aims to enhance students' ability to evaluate and give feedback on performance, prepare for and participate in tournaments, and deepen their understanding of healthy, active lifestyles. Over the course of the six lessons, students will emerge with the ability to engage in small-sided games, developing their skills under pressure. As they progress, they will demonstrate improved tactical awareness, the ability to respond to dynamic game situations, and the capacity to identify and improve performance weaknesses.

The curriculum is structured to build upon fundamental basketball skills in various contexts, allowing students to independently make decisions, evaluate outcomes, and refine their techniques. They will develop advanced principles of play, replicate core skills, and engage in problem-solving to devise new strategies for both offence and defence. Personal development is a key aspect, with an emphasis on sportsmanship, the importance of a healthy lifestyle post-16, and leadership skills. The plan also includes references to potential careers in the sports industry, enriching students' understanding of the wider context of their learning. Each week's lesson is meticulously planned with specific learning objectives, suggested activities, and differentiation strategies to cater to individual learning needs and assess progress.
