What you’ll learn
I can dribble the ball and pass to my partner with control
Key learning points
- Move: looking up while dribbling the ball, enables us to look for space and avoid defenders.
- Move: passing the ball using our hands and pushing the ball towards our teammate, helps keep possession of the ball.
- Think: dribbling and passing are both ways of keeping the ball away from a defender, which helps us to keep possession.
- Feel: stopping to pass the ball when others tag you in a game shows honesty.
- Connect: playing by the rules of the game demonstrates fairness.
Words to know
- dribbling
- using our hands or feet to move with the ball keeping it under control

Common mistakes
Pupils throw the ball focusing on throwing it hard and high, instead of passing with accuracy.
Ensure pupils understand that a pass requires control and accuracy.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Highlight that passing is a two-part action and that receiving the pass is important too. Ensure pupils pupils make eye contact with their teammate when passing and receiving.
