      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can review the performance of different players in a game to suggest ways to improve.

      Key learning points

      1. Move: defending from your knees on the edge of the ā€˜D’ helps to get low and retrieve a shot.
      2. Think: catching the ball mid-air uses up 1 step as you land, or 2 if you land with both feet simultaneously.
      3. Feel: integrity requires adhering to ethical principles/standards, even when it is challenging or may hinder winning.
      4. Connect: signals, verbal cues and team talks enable a team to work together effectively.

      Keywords

      • Short - a fault where the ball does not hit the rebound frame during an attempted shot at the tchoukball frame

      • Analyst - a person who examines information methodically to interpret trends and make informed

      • Team talk - providing a briefing to help motivate and inform players on what to do

      Common misconception

      Pupils think a short is associated with the height of a shot.

      A short is when a shot misses the rebound frame completely. It results in a fault and change of possession with the defenders restarting play from behind the baseline.

      Teacher tip

      This lesson involves 7-a-side games with bigger teams and analysis roles, but with some groups, you may prefer to stick to the 5-a-side format.

      Equipment

      1 tchoukball between 7, 1 rebound frame per 7 players, bibs, knee pads (if available), clipboards, lesson worksheet and pens
