Combine passing and moving to create shooting opportunities

Invasion games: maintaining possession and stopping an attack in ball games

Unit Summary

This unit will develop pupils' ability to apply the principles of attack vs defence, focussing on how to use their passing, moving and dribbling skills to create shooting opportunities as well as defensive principles to stop an attack. Pupils will work together in teams to create simple tactics.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to combine passing, moving and shooting to create an attack which results in a shot on target.

Key Notes

  • Move: successful attacks require fast movement into space, creating options to receive the ball to pass or shoot.
  • Move: shooting from a position close enough to the target will increase our chance of success.
  • Think: knowing when we are in a good place to pass or shoot helps our team to keep possession and execute shots.
  • Feel: creating shooting opportunities requires every team member to demonstrate the self-motivation to try their best.
  • Connect: successful cooperating requires teams to work hard together and ensure everyone in the team is included.

  • target: something you focus on and aim for to try to reach or hit
  • shot: trying to score by sending the ball toward the goal or target
  • attack: to move toward the other team's goal to try to score points
