What you’ll learn
I can apply my skills and tactical understanding in a conditioned and full context game.
Key learning points
- Move: cardiovascular endurance helps maintain the correct playing position and pressure on the ball throughout gameplay.
- Think: deciding when to attack on goal and when to regroup to work another angle requires patience.
- Feel: individuals need to manage their emotions well to cope when the team performance isn't going to plan.
- Connect: leadership of self and others through positivity and words of encouragement helps the collective performance.
Words to know
- throw-in
- awarded when the ball crosses the touchline (sideline) and taken by the opposing team from whoever touched it last
- free kick
- an unimpeded kick of a stationary ball awarded to one side as a penalty for a foul or infringement by their opposition
- corner
- awarded when the whole ball crosses the goal line, either in the air or on the ground when it was last touched by a defending player
- offside
- an attacking player is beyond the last defender when the ball is played
Common mistakes
In a GCSE assessment the assessor will expect to see you be on the ball as an attacker and trying to beat defenders with tricks and feints.
An assessor is looking for the selection of the most appropriate skill for the situation to outwit an opponent which could be a passing option or creating space. It is more about the contribution to the team performance and strategic application.
For parents, carers and teachers
- The practices in previous lessons can be used at the start of the lesson to recap the skills in progressive practices and conclude with game play.
