Unit Summary
This unit explores tactics to overcome opponents with a focus on keeping possession of a ball either in hand or at your feet. Pupils will learn how to move on and off the ball to create space, to create options and to outwit others in 'donor' sports and scenarios that can be applied to many sports.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to get into range and shoot with good form.
Key Notes
- Move: good shooting technique requires a follow through towards the goal to create power.
- Think: understanding where to stand when attacking will increase scoring probability.
- Feel: courage is needed when shooting but it's important the outcome doesn't reduce self-confidence.
- Connect: hand signals and eye contact can allow you to non-verbally communicate with teammates.
Vocabulary To Learn
- invade: attack the oppositions territory by moving the ball towards their goal
- technique: the specific way a sport's skill is executed to increase success
- shield: using your body to protect the ball when in possession
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Confident players shooting from out of range and failing to pass when would have been a better option.
