Court Crew Circuit
Category: Sport Skills · 7-page printable PDF · Ages 7-8 · Free for ConnectedPE members
A Year 7 cooperative-learning basketball circuit where the group score is the only score. Six skill stations cover the fundamentals — passing, dribbling, lay-ups — while four rotating roles (Doer, Coach, Observer, Recorder) ensure every student spends the lesson both practising and coaching.
The role rotation is the pedagogy: Doers perform, Coaches deliver cues, Observers check against shared success criteria, Recorders capture the evidence — and everyone cycles through all four. Giving and receiving specific feedback becomes the lesson's real content, with basketball as the vehicle. The shared group score removes intra-team rivalry and makes cooperation rational. Mapped to AC9HP4D01 and AC9HP4D02.
Seven pages: teacher guide, six station cards, printable role cards and a group reflection exit ticket. Run it within a basketball unit, or use it any time you want to teach what good peer feedback actually sounds like.
