Learning Activities
1. Display this question: “What factors influence how strategies and tactics are used in sport?”
Individually, students brainstorm as many as they can in 2 minutes. In pairs, they compare and group their ideas into categories:
- Environmental conditions (weather, surface, altitude)
- Opponent analysis (strengths/weaknesses)
- Rules and game structure
- Team dynamics and communication
- Physical and psychological readiness
- Coaching philosophy or leadership
Share back as a class to build a comprehensive list.
2. Game Application - Netball. Students participate in a game of netball.
- During the game the teacher introduces a range of environmental or player constraints, for example:
- WA has been sent off
- It is raining heavily and the ball/court are slippery
- 10 passes must be made before a goal is scored
- The temperature has risen so more regular substitutions must be made to align with the heat policy
- Play normally for 5 minutes. Stop the game, introduce the constraint and brainstorm strategies that could be implemented in response. Teams discuss strategies they will use when the game resumes.
- Play for another 5 minutes with adjusted strategies.
