Organise a tournament

Invasion games: tactics and strategies when leading a team in Korfball

Unit Summary

This unit challenges pupils to apply some tactics and strategies gained from netball and basketball to a new sport whilst focusing on respect for others and leadership skill development. Pupils will apply more advanced tactics and strategies whilst securing their understanding of a new game.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to organise and help run a Korfball tournament.

Key Notes

  • Move: quickly spreading out after the throw-off to move into space creates passing options to start an effective attack.
  • Think: knowing how to implement tactics within a variety of competition formats requires effect decision making.
  • Feel: striving to be the best version of yourself both on and off the field shows integrity and self-discipline.
  • Connect: decisions made by referees and officials should be accepted without protest even when you disagree.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • round-robin: every team plays every other participant in turn
  • throw-off: the game starts with a throw-off from the centre of the court and this also happens after each goal
  • penalty shot: awarded for major infringements, e.g. illegal defence, and is taken from a designated spot 2.5 metres in front of the Korf

Common Mistakes To Avoid

  • Pupils think that a knock out tournament is always the best type of tournament to do in sport/ PE.
