This unit aims to develop the learners’ own practical sports performance in team sports, focusing on the application of skills, techniques and tactics. This is achieved through participation in practical activities, and reflection on their performances and those of other performers.

Learners will have the opportunity to practice and refine their individual skills and techniques, investigate and experience different team tactics and formations, and review and analyse their own performance in these areas and that of other individuals.

The rules and regulations of team sport are also investigated, as an awareness of the rules can often lead to an improvement in performance. Throughout the unit, learners will be made aware of safe practice relating to all those participating in the sport.
