Unit Summary
This unit explores tactics and strategies that can be transferred to a variety of world games including Kabaddi, flag and Aussie Rules football (AFL). These popular participation and spectator sports from different cultures require pupils to pick up new rules and adapt tactics to play as a team.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to develop offensive and defensive plays within a team to play a simplified version of Aussie Rules football.
Key Notes
- Move: holding hands up in a wide Y shape and shuffling side to side during zonal defence helps cover more ground.
- Move: sprinting away from your defender into open space creates clear passing options to maintain possession.
- Think: the oval field has defenders, midfielders and forwards, similar to football.
- Feel: confidence comes from visualising and experimenting with ways to create gaps in the field to attack.
- Connect: defenders communicate and shift together to prevent any gaps forming.
Vocabulary To Learn
- zonal defence: when players defend the space instead of marking an opponent directly
- behind: a score worth one point, awarded when the ball is kicked between the behind post and the goal post or if the ball hits a goal post.
- goal: a score worth six points, achieved when the ball is kicked between the two taller, central goal posts without being touched.
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils just stick with one payer on the opposite team and chase them.
