Common misconception
Pupils can panic when receiving the ball in a game situation and rush to throw it away. Pupils all run towards the ball carrier rather than finding space.
Emphasise the importance of finding space and looking around to understand what to do when receiving the ball. Make sure they understand they have time to react and think before sending the ball on to their teammates.
