What you’ll learn
I can get into range and shoot with good form
Key learning points
- Move: good shooting technique requires a follow through towards the goal to create power.
- Think: understanding where to stand when attacking will increase scoring probability.
- Feel: courage is needed when shooting but it's important the outcome doesn't reduce self-confidence.
- Connect: hand signals and eye contact can allow you to non-verbally communicate with teammates.
Words to know
- invade
- attack the oppositions territory by moving the ball towards their goal
- technique
- the specific way a sport's skill is executed to increase success
- shield
- using your body to protect the ball when in possession
Common mistakes
Confident players shooting from out of range and failing to pass when would have been a better option.
Getting in a strong position with a high probability of scoring if you shoot is essential. It is important to pass to a teammate in a better position rather than shoot when out of range.
For parents, carers and teachers
- This lesson can be modified to focus on just football/netball/basketball/handball etc but if facilities allow, it works even better with a mix of goals and techniques to explore to understand general principles of being in a good position; well balanced and following through towards the goal.
