Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: dodging a ball that is rolling towards us requires a ready position on the balls of our feet throughout the game.
- Think: concentrating on applying simple tactics as a team can help us dodge a rolling ball and stay in the game.
- Feel: encouraging yourself and others to take risks in the game to score points demonstrates self-belief.
- Connect: it is important to be honest and play by the rules so that everyone can enjoy the game.
Keywords
Avoid - staying away and trying not to go near something or someone
Game - an activity or sport in which people compete with each other according to agreed rules
Tactics - a carefully planned set of actions that are used by a team or an individual to achieve a certain goal
Common misconception
Pupils may believe that after agreeing a tactic, the team will be able to perform this tactic accurately every time and that when they do, it will always be successful.
Even when we make a great dodge into space and use a tactic, our opponents will react with a tactic of their own: this means that a tactic isn't guarenteed to be successful every time we use it.
