Move: movement competence

Think: knowledge of rules, tactics, strategies and compositional ideas

Why this why now

Pupils will already have explored principles of keeping possession of a ball either in hand or at feet in ‘donor’ sports and scenarios (core tasks). Pupils will now apply that learning to move on and off the ball to create space, to create options and to outwit others in futsal. The heavier ball lends itself to small sided games, increased control and keeping the ball on the floor to support less experienced pupils and level the playing field. Later in invasion games they will also apply these principles to netball.

Prior knowledge requirements

Pupils know that all invasion games involve elements of attacking and defending to either score or deny scoring opportunities.
Pupils understand how to apply basic attacking and defensive principles in a game situation.
Pupils are able to create space with their movement off the ball to increase scoring opportunities.
