What you’ll learn
I can create and lead a competition that is balanced and inclusive.
Key learning points
- Move: land the ball close to the target, releasing at the lowest point of the underarm swing with a slight wrist flick.
- Think: ensuring an activity is accessible to all participants is fundamental to creating an inclusive competition.
- Feel: creating an inclusive game where all players are active builds a culture of inclusion and belonging.
- Connect: seeking the voices of all participants in creating a competition makes everyone feel included and valued.
Words to know
- inclusive competition
- ensuring all participants can compete fairly and succeed in a supportive environment
- equity
- giving everyone what they need to be successful
- planning

Common mistakes
Target games must be played against people of similar ability or previous experience for it to be a fair competition.
Conditions can be put on specific players in target games to balance the competition, regardles of their ability or previous experience.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Encourage all pupils to embrace any extra/new challenge they may face in an attempt to balance a competition as it will enable them to make more progress. Introduce a scoring support and challenege system. E.g if a player needs support, they start at -4 points, to challenge a player start at +5.
