Net and court games

Net and court games involve players sending an object towards a court or target area that an opponent is defending. The aim of net and court games is to cause the object to land in the target area while making it difficult for the opponent to return the object.


Students can learn and develop the knowledge, skills and concepts associated with sports such as volleyball, tennis, squash and badminton.

Playing for life activity cards

The activities in the Net and court games unit have been adapted from the Playing for Life activity cards. These cards are designed for everyday use by teachers, coaches, out of school hours care staff and parents. Aligned with the Australian Curriculum and the Australian Physical Literacy Framework, these game-based activities are easily adapted to different sports and help create a safe, inclusive and challenging environment for children.
