Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: to score more goals than our opponents we have to accurately time passes and movement to support the ball carrier.
- Move: when our team loses possession, we need to react quickly to be ready to defend and stop the attack.
- Think: reflecting on our performance ensures we understand how we can adapt our performance to keep improving.
- Feel: always supporting our teammates to help them improve regardless of the score demonstrates integrity.
- Connect: utilising playing positions to work with other members of the team in attack and defence shows teamwork.
Keywords

Common misconception
If you are on the losing team, it automatically affects the score you get for your handball assessment.
For your GCSE PE moderation, you are measured against how well you can demonstrate certain skills, tactics and decision making, not the final score of your game.
