What you’ll learn
I can use my passing, receiving and dribbling skills to create successful scoring opportunities in a game situation.
Key learning points
- Move: accurate passing, receiving and dribbling are necessary to outwit an opponent creating scoring chances in games.
- Move: passing and dribbling the ball at speed helps create space in the attacking area to create more scoring chances.
- Think: good decision making helps us select when and where to pass or dribble in a game in order to create attacks.
- Feel: striving to improve our performance even when our team is struggling demonstrates self discipline and resilience.
- Connect: to create scoring opportunities we need to cooperate and communicate effectively with our team.
Words to know
- attack
- trying to score points
- outwit
- using tactics and strategies to gain an advantage over our opponents
- scoring
- how a team or individual accumulates points to determine the winner of the match
Common mistakes
Pupils think they can only dribble or pass and not effectively combine both, struggling to transition between the 2 actions.
Focus on the importance of both skills and how key decision making on when to use each action is vital.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Consider using larger or softer balls for pupils that are struggling to keep control, to ensure they can still engage with the lesson.
