Unit Summary
This unit provides pupils with the knowledge and opportunity to replicate skills in isolation and in performance scenarios in netball. As a popular team sport offered by many pupils it will cover passing/ receiving, footwork, dodging, shooting, marking, intercepting and decision making.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to communicate ideas and apply skills to defending a centre pass, backline throw in and penalty/free pass situation.
Key Notes
- Move: effective defending involves using a range of travelling and body control skills.
- Think: each player has an allocated area on the netball court; stepping into the wrong third or D is considered offside.
- Feel: reflecting on your performance enables you to understand the importance of defence across the whole court.
- Connect: working with a teammate to be strategic e.g. double marking, will make the game more challenging for opponents.
Vocabulary To Learn
- off side: when a position moves into an area of the court they are not allowed to be in
- double marking: when two players choose to mark one play to create a defensive advantage
- channel: an imaginary line that divides the court vertically into 3 sections
