What you’ll learn
I can observe and understand batting, bowling and fielding techniques, suggesting ways to improve and making them more effective.
Key learning points
- Move: fielders backup the post that teammates are most likely to throw the ball towards to prevent a misfield.
- Think: positive language is used to provide feedback to others due to the impact on their self-esteem and motivation.
- Thick: tactics are applied to work more effectively as a team when both batting and fielding.
- Feel: look for the positive in situations, dwelling on mistakes results in reduced self-esteem.
- Connect: compassion when working with each other is demonstrated by focusing on what's effective more than the mistakes.
Words to know
- tactics
- the planned actions or strategies used by players or teams to gain an advantage and perform better in the game
- back up
- having a teammate ready to support another player in case they miss or drop the ball
- analyse
- examine something in detail in order to explain and or interpret it
Common mistakes
Pupils often make slow decisions when covering each other due to lack of confidence. They also panic when they are under pressure in a game situation.
Encourage quick and clear communication using captains and coaches to help players make good decisions.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use modified games to work on particular weaknesses or strengths of your class. For example, focus on 3 ball rounders in small teams to work on batting or 20 ball rounders to work on tactical fielding or batting under pressure. Different versions of the game require different tactics and strategies.
