Tchoukball and basic rules

Invasion games: tactics and strategies in tchoukball

Unit Summary

This unit explores a variety of tactics and strategies that can be transferred from other team games to tchoukball. Pupils will be challenged to demonstrate and develop their integrity by showing good moral principles playing without an official.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to explain the basic rules to Tchoukball.

Key Notes

  • Move: releasing the ball high, ideally from a running jump, increases the power in our shots.
  • Move: aiming at the middle/top of the net, increases the chance of scoring.
  • Think: the rule of three means you have 3 seconds with the ball, 3 passes and 3 steps before needing to pass or shoot.
  • Feel: it is illegal to intercept a pass or block a rebound, so everyone feels included.
  • Connect: respect is shown between all players as a higher priority to winning.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • rebound frame: the 2 rebound frames are similar to small trampolines and placed at either end of the court
  • three step rule: players are allowed to take up to 3 steps while holding the ball. This rule encourages quick passing and movement
  • three pass rule: a team can make a maximum of 3 passes before they must shoot at the rebound frame. This ensures that the game remains fast paced and prevents prolonged possession by one team

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils attack one end of the court similar to all other invasion games focused on territory and seek to tackle/intercept passes between the opposition.
