Combine passing and moving to create shooting opportunities
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can combine passing, moving and shooting to create an attack which results in a shot on target.
Key learning points
- Move: successful attacks require fast movement into space, creating options to receive the ball to pass or shoot.
- Move: shooting from a position close enough to the target will increase our chance of success.
- Think: knowing when we are in a good place to pass or shoot helps our team to keep possession and execute shots.
- Feel: creating shooting opportunities requires every team member to demonstrate the self-motivation to try their best.
- Connect: successful cooperating requires teams to work hard together and ensure everyone in the team is included.
Keywords
Target - something you focus on and aim for to try to reach or hit
Shot - trying to score by sending the ball toward the goal or target
Attack - to move toward the other team's goal to try to score points
Common misconception
Pupils recieve the ball and automatically try to shoot, regardless of their position on the pitch/court.
Remind pupils that their shots will not be successful if they don't give careful consideration to the position they are in before shooting.
Teacher tip
Vary the context that pupils apply their learning through. Move pupils through the planned tasks when they are ready.
