Fascinating Fact:

Marking means staying close enough to an opponent to stop them receiving the ball easily. Good marking is about watching both the player and the ball.

In KS2 Physical Education, pupils build tactics for team games by learning how to attack and defend with purpose. They practise positioning, communication, quick decisions, and fair play so games stay safe, fun, and organised.

Key Terms

  • Defender: A player whose job is to stop the other team scoring or moving forward easily.
  • Support: Moving into a helpful position so a teammate has a safe option to pass to or work with.
  • Interception: Taking the ball by reading a pass and getting to it before it reaches the opponent.

Marking in KS2 PE means staying near an opponent to make it harder for them to get the ball or use space, while still being ready to react to play.

You can defend better by tracking runners, staying between the attacker and the goal, communicating with teammates, and recovering quickly if your team loses the ball.

What are simple attacking tactics for KS2 team games?

Simple attacking tactics include spreading out, passing to a teammate in space, moving after you pass, and creating chances by working together rather than running alone.
