Part 2 - Skill Development/Practice matches

In groups of 5 (4 players and 1 referee), play a social match focusing on the rules.

Part 3  -

Students in small groups should answer the following questions and record their response in their P.E and Health OneNote page

  1. How is a game scored (show the progression)?
  2. How many games does a player need to win in order to win the set?
  3. How many sets does a female have to win to win the match?
  4. How many sets does a male have to win to win the match?

Each group can now share with the class, and the teacher clarify any points.
