Game tactics involves strategic moves. When playing invasion games such as football, netball, hockey and basketball, you can use certain tactics to outsmart your opponents. Using tactics could mean the difference between winning and losing so they are handy to learn.

This quiz is about some of the tactics you use in invasion games. See if you can get ten out of ten. Good luck!
