This film demonstrates all three activities in this pack in action. Pupils will develop their ready position, and move in different directions while keeping good control of their body.

This is a fun warm-up for all pupils, which requires no equipment. The pupils play in pairs, moving around an imaginary court, getting both mind and body ready for the activities that follow.

In 'Get steady!' pupils work on the skills of holding a balanced ready position, as well as travelling in different ways and different directions with good body control. These are all used in a variety of net and wall sports including tennis, table tennis and squash.

In pairs, the pupils practise their movement and ready position under intermediate pressure.

This game is a fun challenge that gives pupils an opportunity to practise their ready position and movement skills around court in a larger space.

In the 'Walk and talk review', the pupils cool down while they self-review their learning, exchanging ideas with a partner.

This game is a quick, fun activity that will help develop your speed of movement into a ready position. You can play it on your own or with a friend.

Watch this clip of the ready position alongside using the Star Marks card which can be found under Skill development: Get steady to help pupils develop their skills!
