Unit Summary
This unit provides pupils with the knowledge and opportunity to replicate skills in isolation and in performance scenarios in association football. As a popular team sport offered by many pupils it will cover passing/ receiving, dribbling, shooting, ball control, tackling and decision making.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to keep control of the ball on the move.
Key Notes
- Move: using both feet alternately to touch the ball makes it easier to move at pace with the ball.
- Think: if defenders are close, the ball needs to be kept closer to your body to reduce the risk of being tackled.
- Feel: be confident to use a feint or trick to beat an opponent and create space.
- Connect: the ball travels faster than us so dribbling is often not the best option to attack, passing is better.
Vocabulary To Learn
- close control dribbling: keeping the ball close to the feet in tight spaces, allowing for quick direction changes and precise manoeuvres through densely packed defences
- speed dribbling: moving the ball quickly forwards, often in open spaces using pace to outrun opponents while maintaining possession
- feints: using deceptive movements to trick defenders and create space. This technique includes a variety of moves such as step-overs, body feints and skill moves like the Cruyff turn
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think that GCSE assessment for ball control is just looking at the techniques in isolation or in a 1v1.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: using both feet alternately to touch the ball makes it easier to move at pace with the ball. Think: if defenders are close, the ball needs to be kept closer to your body to reduce the risk of being tackled.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'close control dribbling'
keeping the ball close to the feet in tight spaces, allowing for quick direction changes and precise manoeuvres through densely packed defences.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think that GCSE assessment for ball control is just looking at the techniques in isolation or in a 1v1. Correction: Dribbling and 1v1 needs to be seen in conditioned practices to showcase the technique when faced with the position of the defenders and decision making.
