What you’ll learn
I can send and receive the ball whilst applying the footwork rule.
Key learning points
- Move: throwing and catching with control requires balance to securely ground a landing foot.
- Think: the landing foot is used to pivot around and to direct the body to open up space.
- Think: the tarsals and metatarsals are located in the foot.
- Feel: asking for the ball in space and in good time requires confidence.
- Connect: sending and receiving the ball requires awareness of where the feeder is.
Words to know
- footwork rule
- after catching the ball, you may not reground the landing foot until you release the ball again. Your landing foot can remain grounded and become the pivot foot
- chest pass
- a pass from the torso, typically using two-hands
- shoulder pass
- a one handed pass relesaed from the shoulder
Common mistakes
Pupils think the chest pass is only used for shorter distances.
The chest pass is a very versatile technique that can be used for short and longer distances. It works well as a technique to pass when aiming for the space a teammate is moving into.
For parents, carers and teachers
- The V practice provides opportunity for jumping, landing and the pivot. You may want to consider moving straight to 'turning in the air', to catch the ball and land facing the direction for the next pass.
