What you’ll learn
I can use my feet to dribble a ball at different speeds and in different directions to move into space away from defenders.
Key learning points
- Move: dribbling the ball at different speeds into space requires control using the inside and outsides of both feet.
- Move: dribbling using the inside and outside of both feet helps us to change direction and move away from defenders.
- Think: knowing where there is space to dribble the ball away from the defenders increases success when dribbling.
- Feel: playing honestly and knowing the consequence of breaking a rule demonstrates a good understanding of the game.
- Connect: playing fairly and by the rules will enable everyone to engage in the competition.
Words to know
- space
- an open area where it is safe and there are no defenders
- direction
- where we face or travel
- speed
- the act of moving rapidly
Common mistakes
Pupils rely heavily on using just one part of their foot, neglecting the need to use both the inside and the outside for better control.
Emphasise the need to alternate between both parts of the foot for greater skill and control.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use of student modelling and peer assessment will be really useful for pupils beginning to use different dribbling techniques. Ensure to factor this into the session when approptiate.
