Invasion Games are team games in which the purpose is to invade the opponents territory while scoring points and keeping the opposing team's points to a minimum, and all within a certain time period. These include sports where the ball is being carried or caught across a line, thrown or shot into a target, or struck with a stick or foot into a specific target area. Invasion games are the most strategic types of games with many transferable skills.
Following a successful Sports Day, Grade 5 have started a new unit on Ball Games. They identified games like Basketball, Soccer, Handball and Netball as different types of Ball Games. We have been looking at tactics and strategies in these games and how we need to quickly change from attack to defence.
In the above video we were playing Bench Ball using Grip Pads. We have previously played this game using a Basketball. The equipment was changed but the attacking & defensive strategies remained the same. |
