Year 1 - Physical education

Develop moving with the ball using our feet (dribbling)

Ball skills: sending, receiving and dribbling

Unit Summary

The unit will explore and develop pupils' movement competence when sending and receiving a ball. They will develop and apply an understanding of how, where and why we send a ball, stop the ball and dribble the ball using our hands and feet effectively. Pupils will also explore working in teams.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to use your feet to dribble a ball at different speeds and in different directions to move into space away from defenders.

Key Notes

  • Move: dribbling the ball at different speeds into space requires control using the inside and outsides of both feet.
  • Move: dribbling using the inside and outside of both feet helps us to change direction and move away from defenders.
  • Think: knowing where there is space to dribble the ball away from the defenders increases success when dribbling.
  • Feel: playing honestly and knowing the consequence of breaking a rule demonstrates a good understanding of the game.
  • Connect: playing fairly and by the rules will enable everyone to engage in the competition.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • space: an open area where it is safe and there are no defenders
  • direction: where we face or travel
  • speed: the act of moving rapidly

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils rely heavily on using just one part of their foot, neglecting the need to use both the inside and the outside for better control.
