Games: can you dribble a ball with your hands and your feet?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can dribble a ball with my hands and my feet with control.
Key learning points
- Move: controlling the ball in hand is done by using the fingertips to cushion the ball.
- Move: controlling the ball at the feet is done by using small taps with the inside and outside of your foot.
- Think: looking up helps you to develop kinaesthetic awareness to maintain ball control whilst scanning the environment.
- Feel: confidence is built by repeating different movements with the ball.
- Connect: playing fairly and by all the rules helps everyone enjoy the game and shows respect.
Keywords
Kinaesthesis - the body's awareness of movement and position
Dribbling - moving with the ball while keeping it close and under control with hands or feet
Coordination - using different body parts at the same time, smoothly and with control
Common misconception
When dribbling the ball, your head should look at it.
When dribbling, your head should look up to develop kinaesthetic awareness and maintain ball control, without bumping into anything in the working area/environment.
Equipment
A ball that bounces, a timer, 2 pieces of string or alternate to make a narrow channel, and optional own equipment to make your own target game.
