Passing, catching and moving with precision
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can pass and move with precision as well as understanding Newton’s Laws of motion in action.
Key learning points
- Move: catching the ball securely requires using both hands.
- Think: defending a shot requires quick reactions, teamwork and predicting the rebound.
- Think: the ball accelerates at a rate proportional to the force applied by the muscles to throw it.
- Feel: consistently matching your actions with your words demonstrates integrity.
- Connect: leaders build trust by being reliable, honest and supportive.
Keywords
No interference - physical contact, blocking or intercepting passes are not allowed.
Law of inertia - Newton's first law whereby a body remains at rest or in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an outside force
Law of acceleration - Newton's second law of motion whereby an object (e.g. the ball) accelerates at a rate proportional to the force that applied it
Common misconception
Pupils make simple ball handling mistakes due to rushing.
You lose possession if the ball is dropped, so whilst you need to make a pass within 3 seconds, it is essential not to make rushed decisions for passing and focus on catching the ball carefully with both hands before making your next move.
Teacher tip
This lesson is a nice opportunity for cross curricular links to Newton's Laws of Motion and wider science principles.

We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom.
