Unit Summary
This unit provides pupils with the knowledge and opportunity to replicate skills in isolation and in performance scenarios in basketball. As a popular team sport offered it will cover passing/receiving, dribbling, shooting, marking and defending and decision making in both attack and defence.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to mark a player and try to steal or rebound the ball using the correct body position.
Key Notes
- Move: making your body as tall and wide as possible when marking, closes down your opponent's space.
- Move: maintaining quick feet while tracking your opponent is the quickest way to stay with them.
- Think: diving in to steal the ball risks making contact which will result in a foul against you.
- Feel: use self awareness of your own upper body to pressure an opponent when off the ball.
- Connect: keeping your body upright and agile when marking the ball shows respect for the opposition.
Vocabulary To Learn
- tracking: closely following an opponent's movements and positioning to anticipate their next move
- defensive stance: a stance on the balls of the feet with knees bent to allow fast movement to the side
- steal: a key defensive skill to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent and take the ball from the offensive player
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think defence is a solo effort and only needed when marking the player with the ball.
