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 play a basic game of Kabaddi utilising raiders and chain formations for defence.
Key Notes
- Move: defenders move together as a unit, stay balanced and in sync to close down space and stay connected.
- Move: defenders stay low with knees bent to lower their centre of gravity, making it harder for raiders to escape.
- Think: defenders must read the raider's body language to anticipate their next move correctly.
- Feel: staying connected helps players feel more supported and confident in defence.
- Connect: strong leadership, quick reactions and clear communication is needed to coordinate defensive players
Vocabulary To Learn
- defensive chain: a group of defenders moving together in a linked formation to trap the raider as a team
- bonus line: a line in the opponent's half that raiders must cross to earn an additional bonus point, provided certain conditions are met (e.g., at least six defenders are on the court)
- baulk line: a line on each side of the court that the raider must cross to make their raid valid and be eligible to score points
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think that as a defender they need to rush individually to stop the opposition.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: defenders move together as a unit, stay balanced and in sync to close down space and stay connected. Move: defenders stay low with knees bent to lower their centre of gravity, making it harder for raiders to escape.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'defensive chain'
a group of defenders moving together in a linked formation to trap the raider as a team.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think that as a defender they need to rush individually to stop the opposition. Correction: Rushing alone often leaves space for the raider to escape. Defenders are more effective when they move together, stay connected and communicate to trap the raider as a team.
