What will students learn  Students must develop their ability to perform basketball related skills such as ball familiarisation, passing (chest, bounce, overhead), shooting, dribbling, attacking and defending. Students will also develop an understanding for attacking and defensive principles.                                                                             Students will also develop the knowledge and understanding of the basic rules of the game (lines of the court, what is or isn't a foul, double dribble, travelling) and developing a deeper more cemented understanding of the rules of the game. Students will develop their communication, resilience, teamwork and leadership skills through a series of different activities, practices and games.
Key Knowledge that students should know at the end of 'Topic' This is the knowledge that students will meet for the first time in this topic 

Explore the origin of basketball, the history of basketball began with its invention in 1891 in the USA by PE teacher James Naismith as a less injury-prone sport than American football. The NBA formed in 1946 and the British Basketball League formed in 1987.

Students will develop a deeper understanding by building upon knowledge of the health benefits playing invasion games has physically, mentally and socially. How skills can be learnt and transferred into other sports and everyday life, such as communicating, resilience, leading, problem solving and working collaboratively as a team. Students will develop and refine basketball specific skills such as ball familiarisation, passing (chest, bounce, overhead), shooting and dribbling. Students will also develop an understanding for attacking and defensive principles. Students/professional athletes performance will also be analysed. Create and devise strategies to outwit an opponent.

This is knowledge that students may have met before but will need to deepen their understanding 

Students will have knowledge to name and explain areas on the court such as the backlines, sidelines, the ‘D’, the ‘key’ and basic rules e.g.  fouls, free throws, double dribble, travelling, tip off etc.

Students will have the knowledge to name and explain when you might pass and why, why might you use different types of passes (chest, bounce, overhead), when might you shoot and why, when might they need to beat an opponent and why etc. If the students cannot retrieve the knowledge physically then they should be

able to recite how to perform the skill verbally or when the skill may be performed. 

Students will have knowledge of basic tactics of keeping possession, defending and attacking strategies which will be retrieved from previous invasion games. Students will implement attacking and defensive strategies into each lesson but will also need to recall these strategies when participating in other invasion sports such as hockey, rugby etc.

Key Skills that students should be able to demonstrate at the end of 'Topic' This is the skills  that students will meet for the first time in this topic Students will undergo a variety of practices focussing on basketball skills which will enable them to perform key skills used in the sport such as ball handling, passing (chest, bounce, overhead), dribbling, shooting (set shot, lay-up), rebounding, outwitting opponents as an attacker and a defender and implementing these skills into a competitive situation. Students will be involved in isolated practices which will force the skill development and a variety of independent practice, 1v1, 2v1, 3v1 and small sided games. This competition will force the students to work under pressure and develop their skill set to a higher ability. Students will acquire knowledge through participating in practices, watching and performing in demonstrations, using task cards and analysing video footage.
This is skills that students may have met before but will need to develop 

 Students will develop skills and techniques of ball handling, passing (chest, bounce, overhead), dribbling, shooting (set shot, lay-up), rebounding, attacking strategies, defending strategies and how to use them in a competitive environment.

Key vocabulary that students should know and understand Dribbling, passing, shooting, movement, hand eye co-ordination, agility, teamwork, resilience, drive, rebound, pivoting 
The Big Question  Retrieve components of fitness knowledge and discuss which are needed in Basketball and how these are transferable to other sports (hinterland)
