Shooting and rebounding
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can execute an effective shooting technique and position myself for a rebound
Key learning points
- Move: creating a tall body position with an extended arm above the head will make it difficult for defenders.
- Move: quick movements to receive a pass into the circle are required to get into the space for a shot at goal.
- Think: once the shot has been released, time your jump for the rebound to take the ball at the highest point.
- Feel: using imagery to increase success in shooting can help improve confidence.
- Connect: encouraging each other after every shot will help to build shooting confidence.
Keywords
Standing shot - a two handed stationery shot
High arm release shot - a technique that involves full extension of the arm above the head
Rebound - gathering the ball after unsuccessful attempt at a goal
Common misconception
Pupils keep their feet planted on the ground after taking a shot.
Always encourage a release of a shot, moving up onto the toes, so the player is in a suitable position to move forward for a rebound.
Teacher tip
Only those who are being assessed as shooting positions need to show technique. Other pupils can then be seen as defending the shot/rebounding or supporting as a centre court player to get the ball to the shooting positions effectively.
