Lesson details

Learning outcome

I can apply my skills and tactical understanding in a full context game.

Key learning points

  1. Move: effectively transitioning between attack and defence involves using a range of travelling and body control skills.
  2. Think: reacting to open play requires a thorough understanding of the rules and different strategies available to teams.
  3. Feel: having persistence involves staying focused and composed, even if the team is behind or facing strong opposition.
  4. Connect: An effective leader shows dedication and positivity, motivating teammates to do the same.

Keywords

  • Nomination - the action of calling out the colour of the team that is being targeted just before hitting the kin-ball

  • Omnikin - official word that must be called before hitting the kin-ball, followed by the colour of the team they are targeting

  • Fault - an infraction or mistake that breaks the game's rules, resulting in the opposing teams being awarded a point

Common misconception

A team hit the kin-ball without properly nominating a team to defend.

Each hitting team must shout "Omnikin" followed by the colour of the bib worn by the nominated team before hitting the kin-ball.

Teacher tip

Provide a commentary such that you support all pupils to evaluate the game play; informing future strategic and tactical decision making.

Equipment

2 kin-balls, 6 sets of bibs
