" Hi there.

Welcome to your next remote learning lesson.

Today's lesson is on designing competitive games.

The title of today's lesson is Games: Can you Dribble a Ball with Precision Using Your Hands and Your Feet?

My name's Ms. Hacking, and I'm looking forward to being your teacher today.

So for this lesson, you are going to need some equipment.

The equipment that you will need is a ball that bounces.

So this could be a big ball, such as a netball or a basketball, or something a bit smaller, like a table tennis ball.

You need a timer.

So you could use your phone or some other device in order to be able to time yourself.

You need 10 markers, which could be anything such as cushions or books, or if you have cones at home, maybe you could use the cones.

And because you're going to be designing your own target game, you might want to include some other equipment to maybe move round, or across, or under.

So be having a think about that as we move through the lesson.

There may be other equipment that you might need.

So by the end of today's lesson, I'm hoping that we can all dribble a ball with precision while transferring it from hands to your feet.

And our keyword today.

The first one is outwit.

Outwit means to defend or gain advantage over an opponent through superior intelligence, cleverness, or strategy, rather than just physical ability.

So not just being faster or stronger than the other person, but actually using your brain and trying to think tactically using your intelligence to maybe beat them.

Our second key word is competitive, and competitive means a strong desire to win or succeed.

Now, I wonder how competitive you're feeling, whether you are someone that always likes to win, or whether you're someone that doesn't really mind about winning.

But in today's game, you're going to design your own version of a competitive game.

And our final keyword is control, and control is the ability to manage your body movements accurately and safely.

So before we start today's lesson, it's important that we complete a warmup.

So for the warmup, you're going to show me what you know about dribbling accurately.

You can use your right hand, dribble the ball on the spot as many times as you can without losing control, then repeat it with your left hand.

Now do the same, but dribbling from your left foot to your right.

And then repeat again, but now moving while you're dribbling without bumping into anything in the room.

So you're practicing dribbling with your hand and dribbling with your feet.

Challenge yourself to beat your best score, and try to dribble for the full minute without losing control.

There is a video showing next of an example of some of the warmup tasks, if you are unsure on how to do them.

Okay.

So today's lesson is split into two parts.

In the first part of today's lesson, you're going to dribble with your hands and feet.

And in the second part of today's lesson, you're going to create your own competitive dribbling game.

Let's get started.

So today at home, Aisha is working on dribbling using our hands.

Dribbling is a skill of controlling and moving a ball using your hands off feet while staying in possession of it.

In order to be able to dribble successfully with her hands, Aisha needs to use hand-eye coordination.

So coordination is where we use two body parts together, and dribbling, particularly with our hands, requires hand-eye coordination to ensure that we are able to control the ball and not lose possession of the ball.

So to accurately dribble a ball with your hands, use a controlled fingertip touch to maintain consistent contact with the ball, show good hand-eye coordination to control the ball at different speeds.

Adjust the force and direction of the dribble to change the height, speed and direction.

So if your ball is going too high, you're probably using too much force.

If it's not going high enough, you're probably not using enough force.

You might want to protect the ball from defenders while moving into space.

So keeping your eye out, your head up, looking up to make sure that, if you were playing in a game against someone else, that the defenders couldn't steal your ball.

And stay low to maintain balance and allow quick changes of direction.

So particularly if you are dribbling around an obstacle, or there's something in your house that you want to avoid hitting, you need to make sure you're low, with your head up to ensure that you do not crash into them.

And as I've already said, keep your head up to maintain awareness of space, particularly if you are playing in a garden or in a house where there is pieces of furniture that you might run into to.

Okay.

Quick check then.

Can you show me accurate dribbling with your hands?

Okay.

So just like we discussed, I'm hoping that you showed me accurate dribbling using the teaching points that we've already mentioned, and hopefully your dribbling looked like this on the screen.

Well done if you manage to do that.

So Aisha can also dribble the ball using her feet.

To control the ball, she wants to be able to start, stop, turn, and move with the ball without losing control of it.

So in order to be able to dribble successfully with her feet, Aisha needs to use her foot-eye coordination this time.

So again, we say that coordination is when two body parts work together, and to be able to dribble with your feet, you need your eyes and your feet to work together with foot-eye coordination.

So to accurately dribble the ball with your feet, you can use a range of controlled touches with different parts of the foot to manipulate the ball at varying speeds.

So it'll depend how fast you're going as to how hard or which part of the foot that you stop the ball with.

Maintain close control while traveling.

So dribbling is only when the ball is in close control to you, so that if you were playing against someone else, you wouldn't lose possession.

Demonstrate coordination and balance to stay in control when changing direction or pace.

So particularly when you are turning or you're changing pace to be a bit faster, you must stay balanced so that you don't fall and you maintain that possession of the ball.

Vary the weight and angle of each touch to control the ball's speed and direction, and keep your head up to scan for space, defenders, and passing options.

So similarly, like when we were dribbling with our hands, it's important our head remains up so that we're aware of things around us, particularly if we're playing inside or in a garden where there might be bits of furniture we don't want to crash into.

Okay.

Next check then.

Show me dribbling the ball with your feet under control.

Okay.

So well done if dribbling with your feet looks something along the lines of this, using all our teaching points that we went through earlier, but also looking like the person on the screen.

So well done if you got that right.

Okay.

Now it's your turn to have a go at a task.

You're going to use 10 markers to create five gates in your space, each about 50 centimeters apart.

However, if you are finding this really easy, you might want to make them a bit smaller.

Dribble through as many gates as possible in 60 seconds.

Alternate your dribble.

If you go through one gate with your hands, the next gate must be dribbled with your feet.

If more than one person is playing, you can try to knock each other's ball away while keeping control of your own.

Use both your left and right hand or feet when dribbling.

So if you're on your own, that's okay, you just try and get through as many gates as you can in the 60 seconds.

If you're with someone else, you might want to try and knock their ball away if you get the opportunity.

There is a video showing next of how you can perform this task, but I imagine you'll understand what you're doing and that you'll be able to give it a really good go.

Okay.

Let's reflect on task A then.

So were you able to dribble the ball, which requires a delicate touch, coordination and timing?

Now, Izzy said that, "My timing got better the more I practiced, meaning I could move quicker through the gates while still maintaining control of the ball.

" Now, did you?

Were you able to use light, delicate touches and improve your coordination to ensure that you were able to go through the gates one by one?

Think.

Were you able to understand how to vary the direction and force applied to the ball because it impacts its trajectory and speed?

And Izzy said that, "When I applied more force to the ball, it bounced higher, which made it harder to control.

" So I think she's talking about when she was using her hands, when she applied more force, the ball bounced higher.

Did you notice anything when you were dribbling the ball either with your hands or your feet, maybe the angle of your foot when you tried to dribble the ball?

If you changed it, it meant you were able to control the ball more.

Okay.

Feel.

To dribble the ball and advance into space requires determination and effort.

And yes it does, especially when you're working at home.

It requires a lot of effort to motivate yourself to be able to dribble successfully.

And Izzy said that, "I showed determination to get the ball through each of the gates accurately and under control.

" And within those 60 seconds as well, she managed to get the ball through each of the gates, which does require determination and effort.

And connect.

Dribble in to keep control of the ball can affect other players in a game.

And Izzy said that, "When I played the gate game with my sister, I had to dribble with control, otherwise it would be easy for her to knock it out.

" Now, you might have been playing with someone else at home and found that they kept knocking your ball out.

So by keeping control of the ball affected how others played the game.

So whether you dribbled the ball with control meant that you were able to stop them knocking it out, or whether you were dribbling with less control, which made it easier for them to knock the ball out too.

Okay.

Let's move on to the second part of today's lesson.

In the second part of today's lesson, we're going to create our own dribbling game.

So Laura, Andeep and Izzy want to make their own game to continue to improve dribbling the ball with precision and control.

Laura and Andeep have decided that their game is going to be a dribble knockout game, so they start by dribbling the ball with their hands.

The aim is to knock the other person's ball whilst maintaining control of their own.

And when a ball is knocked out of the playing zone, they repeat the game, but now using their feet.

And Andeep said that, "If I dribble with control, it can affect how others play the game," and he's right, because the more controlled he is, the less chance Laura has of knocking the ball out.

That sounds like quite a fun game.

Laura said, "I will need determination and effort to outwit Andeep and knock his ball away," and she's right, because if Andeep, for example, is a very good player, she's going to need determination to really outwit Andeep so that she is able to win the game.

Okay.

Let's have a go at a quick check, shall we?

What might you need to use to outwit an opponent?

Would it be A, empathy?

Would it be B, lethargy?

Or would it be C, effort?

What do you think, to outwit an opponent?

Well done if you said C, effort.

You are going to need effort and determination to be able to outwit an opponent.

Okay.

So Izzy has decided that her game is going to be a reaction dribble game played outside.

So when someone shouts red, she has to swap to hands to feet.

So if she was dribbling with her hands, she would then have to swap to her feet.

And if she was dribbling with her feet, she would then have to dribble with her hands.

When someone shouts blue, she has to turn with the ball.

So whether it's in her hands or feet, she would then have to turn with the ball.

And when someone shouts green, she has to send the ball against a wall and control it when it returns to her.

So that's if someone shouts green, she still has to show that control.

Izzy said that, "I will use delicate touch when dribbling to keep the ball under control," and that's probably a good idea so that she maintains control and she's able to follow all the instructions quickly.

When creating your own competitive dribbling game, you may consider what type of dribble will be most important.

So whether you are want focus on your hands, feet, left or right side, whether you want to do a fast dribble or a slow dribble, and how you're going to make sure that you keep that ball under control.

How to challenge precision and control while moving.

So sometimes it's easier to dribble the ball when you're stood still, but how can you make it a little bit harder by dribbling on the move?

Ways to encourage changes of direction, pace or body shape.

So not just staying in one place, but moving forwards or backwards trying to change different directions.

So you might include obstacles there.

How to include decision making, for example, when to pass, shoot or evade.

So like in Izzy's game, she had to pass the ball against the wall when she heard the instruction green, some passes or shooting into your game.

How to keep the game fair and safe for all players.

So again, particularly if you're playing inside the house or near some furniture, you need to make sure that you are safe and anyone else that is playing your game is safe.

You need to think about how you score points or determine a winner.

And you need to maybe think how to adapt the game for different skill level or abilities.

Particularly if you're playing with someone at home, you might be playing with someone that is younger than you who might not have as good ability as you, so maybe you could think about how you could adapt it to make sure it's fair for everyone.

Okay.

Quick check then.

Name two things you may need to consider when creating your own competitive dribbling game.

Well done if you said any of the things that we've already talked about, the type of dribble, how to challenge precision and control, ways to encourage changes of directions, how to include decision making, how to keep the game fair and safe, how to score points or determine a winner, and how to adapt the game for different skill levels or ability.

So well done if you said two of those.

Okay.

Now it's your turn to have a go at task B.

In task B, I'd like you to create your own competitive game or challenge that involves dribbling with your hands and feet.

You should plan how the game will work, including how players will score points.

Make sure the area you are using is safe, with plenty of space, and that there are no objects nearby that could be broken or cause harm.

There is a video shown next of an example of a type of game that you could play either by yourself or with someone else.

But it would be nice to see that you were more creative and you created your own game with your own rules that was really interesting and fun to play.

Okay.

Let's reflect on task B then.

So were you able to dribble the ball requiring a delicate touch, coordination and timing?

And Laura said, "I really focused on using a delicate touch so the ball remained close and I had control.

" Now, did you?

Depending how you had to play your dribbling game, I bet it was important that you kept the ball close to you so that you were able to keep possession of the ball.

Think.

Understanding how to vary the direction and force applied to the ball impacts its trajectory and speed.

So Laura said that, "Trying to avoid Andeep meant I had to keep changing direction when dribbling.

" And yet, did you have any obstacles you had to try and dodge or try and move away from, or did you have another person where you had to change direction to stop them moving your ball or knocking your ball out?

Feel.

To dribble the ball and advance into space requires determination and effort.

And Laura said that, "I showed determination to move into spaces away from Andeep so that he could not knock my ball away.

" Now, did you?

Were you able to move into space, maybe away from a defender, away from obstacles, so that you didn't lose possession of your ball?

'Cause if you did, that showed determination and effort.

And finally, connect.

Dribbling to keep control of the ball can affect how others play the game.

And Laura said that, "By dribbling well and with control, it made it harder for Andeep to knock my ball away," and that would be the same for you.

I bet if you were more controlled if you were playing with someone else, they would find it harder to knock it away or harder to gain possession.

So well done if you managed all of those.

Okay.

So before we finish today's lesson, we do need to do a cool down.

So for today's cool down, I'd like you to start at one side of the room, dribble the ball with your hands to the other side of the room without knocking into anything.

Place a ball on the floor and dribble back to your starting position using your feet.

Repeat that three times.

Whilst you're moving slowly within the space, think about how you were successful when using an accurate dribble.

Which actions were more controlled?

And what could you do between now and the next lesson to practice your skills a bit further?

You might wish to pause a video now to give yourself time to complete your cool down.

Okay, and let's just summarize quickly our key learning points of today's lesson.

So move.

Dribbling the ball requires delicate touch, coordination and timing.

Did you manage to do that when you were dribbling with your hands and your feet?

Think.

Understanding how to vary the direction and force applied to the ball impacts its trajectory and speed.

Adding more force makes the ball maybe go higher or further away from you.

Adding less force maybe makes the ball go lower or stay close to you.

So were you able to adapt it to keep it under control?

Feel.

To dribble the ball and advance into space requires determination and effort, and it does, especially when you're working at home or maybe by yourself.

It definitely requires determination and effort.

And connect.

Dribbling to keep control of the ball can affect other players in the game.

So again, how well you control the ball may really make it harder for another person that you're playing against in the game.

Well done today.

I hope you've enjoyed your lesson, practicing your different types of dribbling.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.
