Movement: can you throw with accuracy whilst on the move?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can throw with coordination and accuracy from both hands in a variety of ways.
Key learning points
- Move: using a variety of techniques will meet the challenge of throwing over different distances.
- Think: following safety procedures will help reduce the risk of injury or damage to equipment/surroundings.
- Feel: regulating your emotions when trying to master more complex combinations helps with resilience.
- Connect: offering support and ideas to others can lead to positive experiences for all.
Keywords
Coordination - using different parts of the body together smoothly and with control
Target - a specific area or spot that you aim to hit
Accuracy - how close your action comes to hitting the intended target
Common misconception
Throwing something with more force will make it more accurate.
Increased force usually reduces accuracy unless the technique is correct (stance, grip, arm swing and follow through).
Equipment
A ball (or rolled up paper) to throw and targets to aim at (e.g. plastic cups, shoe boxes, pans or bags), access to a safe space, ideally outside.
