Study Notes

Types of Games

Involves four main categories: Invasion, Net/Wall, Striking or Fielding, and Target games.

Invasion Games

Objective: Move an object into the opponent's territory to score on areas like a fixed target.
Examples include basketball, football, and rugby.
Game conditions: Equal number of players at the start, pre-set time limit that dictates the end of the game, with teams aiming to score more points than the opponent.

Invasion Strategy

Scoring does not equate to possession; teams must manage both attack and defense.
Strategies can involve physical contact to disrupt opponent play and managing space effectively.

Net/Wall Games

Purpose involves hitting an object into a designated court space to prevent the opponent from returning it.
Examples include volleyball, pickleball, and tennis.
Conditions vary: may have divided or shared spaces, and can involve hitting with hands or implements.

Net/Wall Strategy

Effective strategies focus on shot placement and awareness of court positioning to outmaneuver opponents.

Striking/Fielding Games

Key objective: Teams alternate between batting and fielding, aiming to accumulate the most 'runs'.
Common examples include baseball and cricket.
Conditions require batters to strike the ball accurately, allowing time for players to run between bases, with field designs being fan-shaped or O-shaped.

Striking/Fielding Strategy

Offense strategies depend on where and how to hit the object, while defense focuses on player positioning and skills in throwing.

Target Games

Involves projecting objects towards one or more targets to achieve specific scoring outcomes.
Examples are darts and curling.
Game conditions can include maximum time limits and can vary between opposed vs. unopposed elements.

Target Strategy

Opposed strategies involve interacting with competitors' shots, while decision-making tends to be more individualized.
