What you’ll learn
I can organise and help run a Korfball tournament.
Key learning points
- Move: quickly spreading out after the throw-off to move into space creates passing options to start an effective attack.
- Think: knowing how to implement tactics within a variety of competition formats requires effect decision making.
- Feel: striving to be the best version of yourself both on and off the field shows integrity and self-discipline.
- Connect: decisions made by referees and officials should be accepted without protest even when you disagree.
Words to know
- round-robin
- every team plays every other participant in turn
- throw-off
- the game starts with a throw-off from the centre of the court and this also happens after each goal
- penalty shot
- awarded for major infringements, e.g. illegal defence, and is taken from a designated spot 2.5 metres in front of the Korf
Common mistakes
Pupils think that a knock out tournament is always the best type of tournament to do in sport/ PE.
With 4 or less teams (or if you have a lot of time) a round-robin tournament is better so that all teams are able to play each other.
For parents, carers and teachers
- You may wish to organise the teams to ensure that the dynamics of the class are catered for so there is no disruption or anyone feeling overwhelmed or left out.
