Invasion games: basic tactics to overcome opponents in donor sports
This unit explores tactics to overcome opponents with a focus on keeping possession of a ball either in hand or at your feet. Pupils will learn how to move on and off the ball to create space, to create options and to outwit others in ‘donor’ sports and scenarios that can be applied to many sports.
