Building a team to perform together
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can contribute well to a team performance.
Key learning points
- Move: cardiovascular endurance enables players to run for the whole game, both on and off the ball.
- Think: there is no offside in futsal.
- Think: overloading the attack helps to break down the defence and increases our chances of scoring a goal.
- Feel: tenacity is needed when attacking and defending to continue with what you are doing.
- Connect: working with teammates to spread out and provide options improves with experience of playing together.
Keywords
Kick-in - play resumes with a kick-in if the ball crosses either touchline or hits the ceiling. Goals cannot be scored directly from a kick-in
Overload - placing more players than usual in a specific area of the field to gain an advantage
Channel - the space along the sidelines or wide areas of the pitch which can be used to create width
Common misconception
There is a lack of movement off the ball or teammates position themselves too close to the ball carrier therefore making it easier for the defenders to gain possession.
Pupils should always be moving off the ball to drag defenders out of positions. Pupils should also spread out and position themselves at different angles and distances from the ball carrier.
Teacher tip
When pupils are faced with defenders and in a pressurised situation, their passing and dribbling techniques will often suffer. If this happens, remove the pressure and continue to work on good technique before trying once again to apply more pressure.
Equipment
A small ball with reduced bounce (size 3 ideally) per pupil, approx 50 cones of various colours, bibs, whistle
