Team play and game strategies

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 communicate effectively with teammates and adjust strategies to suit the situation.

Key Notes

  • Move: varying the angle of shots through overarm, sidearm and underarm throws requires proper technique.
  • Think: understanding the 3 main player positions are shooter, defender and centre, improves tactical thinking.
  • Think: knowledge of performance comes from how it feels/looks whereas results are about the outcome (e.g. a goal).
  • Feel: a change of possession requires quick mental adjustment to capitalise on the opportunity.
  • Connect: ensuring all team members have sufficient game time requires cooperation.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • switch: a special type of pass across the baseline by faking a shot then passing to a teammate on the other side of the 'D'.
  • knowledge of performance: a qualitative judgement of how well it felt or looked (e.g. a clean catch of the ball)
  • knowledge of results: a quantitative understanding of the outcome (e.g. a goal or point won)

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils always use the same type of throw for passing and shooting (i.e. overarm with a focus on power and a direct route to the rebound frame).

3 Quick Questions (With Answers)

1. Explain the lesson in two key points.

Move: varying the angle of shots through overarm, sidearm and underarm throws requires proper technique. Think: understanding the 3 main player positions are shooter, defender and centre, improves tactical thinking.

2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'switch'

a special type of pass across the baseline by faking a shot then passing to a teammate on the other side of the 'D'.

3. Correct this common mistake.

Mistake: Pupils always use the same type of throw for passing and shooting (i.e. overarm with a focus on power and a direct route to the rebound frame). Correction: It is easy to defend a square shot or an obvious attack angle at the rebound frame. To outwit the opposition, look to vary the type, angle and pace of shots as well as utilising fakes (e.g. a switch).
