This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
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 shoot with accuracy from a range of positions around the korf and move quickly to avoid a defended shot.
Key Notes
- Move: pump fakes mislead defenders and create space for a shot or pass.
- Move: shooting the ball with 2 hands is more accurate, but 1 handed shots can be useful for quick close range shots.
- Think: passing to a free teammate when you're marked by a defender and unable to take a shot, requires decision making.
- Feel: confidence involves trusting your own judgement and decisions, even in the face of uncertainty or opposition.
- Connect: getting free to make a successful shot on goal is a team effort of creating multiple options and deception.
Vocabulary To Learn
- defended shot: a shot is considered defended if the defender is within arm's reach, directly in front of the shooter, actively defending (hand up, facing the attacker)
- pump fake: a quick motion that mimics a shooting action without actually releasing the ball
- overhand shot: a shooting technique where the player throws the ball towards the Korf (basket) using an overhead motion
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Misconception: Pupils think you should always use two hands to shoot in Korfball.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: pump fakes mislead defenders and create space for a shot or pass. Move: shooting the ball with 2 hands is more accurate, but 1 handed shots can be useful for quick close range shots.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'defended shot'
a shot is considered defended if the defender is within arm's reach, directly in front of the shooter, actively defending (hand up, facing the attacker).
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Misconception: Pupils think you should always use two hands to shoot in Korfball. Correction: Two-handed shots are useful, especially when you're learning, but they're not always the best choice. In a match, you might need to shoot quickly or when a defender is close. One-handed shots can be faster and harder to block.
