1. Aquiring and developing skills
|
Exploration of hitting and throwing. Variation of hitting. Holding racket and changing grip
|
Content must include :-
Exploring hitting or throwing a variety of balls and shuttlecocks into target court areas. Encourage them to select and use the equipment that suits them best. Teach them how to hit with the racket, on either side of their body and above their head. Teach them how to hold a racket and how to adjust the grip for shots on different sides of the body, and for different reasons.
Improvement of their watching of, and moving to, the ball, eg using a 'ready' stance, preparing the racket by using backswing, hitting, following-through and returning to the 'ready' position. Teach them to hit the ball at the top of the bounce and to start to hit it on the rise. Help them to investigate different ways of hitting the ball and making contact with it, eg hard, soft, with slice, topspin.

2. Selecting and applying skills, tactics and compositional ideas
|
Understand and apply strategic and tactical principles more effectively in familiar situations and anticipate and describe outcomes. To adapt strategies and tactics used in one game and apply them to another one
|
Content must include:-
A range of different shots and placements to outwit their opponent, eg changing the pace, direction or height of the ball, playing on the weaker side of their opponent.
Analysis of which shots work best. Teach them how to plan a rally so that it puts their opponent under pressure, eg where to hit the first shot, how to create space to hit the ball into.
Read or anticipating an opponent's movements and choice of shot in a game. Teach them to recognise when to try to keep a rally going, eg mainly to gain time in defending, and when to try to finish it off, eg mainly to use attacking shots.
Knowledge of where to stand on the court to attack and defend. Teach them how to change their position and tactics during the game or a rally.

3.Knowledge and understanding of fitness and health
|
|
Understand the principles used to prepare for, and recover from, these games. to recognise that different activities require different emphasis in types of fitness
|
|
Content must include: -
Identification and practise of specific activities that would enable individuals to become fitter games players.
Help students to recognise and identify how their stamina, strength and/or suppleness are affected by playing net/wall games. Explain to them how net/wall games might form part of an exercise programme to help their fitness, health and enjoyment.
Teach students warm-up and stretching exercises relevant to net/wall games, eg concentrating on groins, hamstrings and calves; working on the flexibility of the back and shoulders. Ask them to select and incorporate exercises in their own warm-up and cool-down routines.

4 Evaluating and improving performance
|
To understand the concepts of net/wall games and make effective evaluations of strengths and weaknesses of performance
|
Content must include:-
Teaching students to use simple criteria to judge the effectiveness of their own and others' basic forehand, backhand and overhead shots, eg was it accurate enough, high enough or hard enough to make it difficult for the opponent? Help them to recognise and comment on the backswing, contact and follow-through phases.
Teaching students to use simple game analysis techniques to judge the effectiveness of combinations of shots, eg plot where one player's shots go in a competitive rally, or record the different types of shot used in a rally.
Teaching students to devise a practice that helps improve the accuracy and consistency of a particular shot. Help them to practise in both cooperative and competitive situations.
