Outdoor – Striking and Fielding – Cricket Cricket is a striking and fielding game. In this unit, pupils develop their understanding of the principles of striking and fielding.

In all activities, pupils have to think about how they use skills, strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition. In cricket, pupils achieve this by striking a ball and trying to avoid fielders, so that they can run between wickets to score runs. Pupils are given opportunities to work in collaboration with others, play fairly demonstrating an understanding of the rules, as well as being respectful of the people they play with and against. |
