Fascinating Fact:

Passing is often quicker than dribbling because the ball can travel faster than a person. Short, accurate passes can help a team keep control.

In KS2 Physical Education, pupils learn simple game tactics that help them play better in team sports. This includes finding space, choosing when to pass or move, defending as a group, and communicating so everyone understands the plan during a game.

Key Terms

  • Tactic: A planned way of playing that helps a player or team succeed in a game.
  • Marking: Staying close to an opponent to make it harder for them to receive the ball or score.
  • Creating space: Moving into a safe area so a teammate can pass to you, or so your team has more room to play.
