Our basketball lesson plans provide a clear progression from early ball control, rolling, throwing and receiving to more advanced possession, attacking and defending principles across KS1 and KS2.
-
Each unit is mapped to the National Curriculum and gives teachers an easy-to-follow sequence of lessons that develops both knowledge and performance.
-
Pupils learn declarative knowledge such as control, space, tactics and healthy participation, while procedural knowledge is built through passing, dribbling, receiving, shooting and movement at speed.
-
The units also support social and emotional development through communication, resilience, decision making and fair play, making them valuable primary PE resources for schools wanting engaging, curriculum-aligned basketball lessons.
