What you’ll learn
I can pass and receive the ball using the correct technique.
Key learning points
- Move: accurate chest passes require us to step into the pass, pushing the ball away from our body.
- Move: receiving a chest pass, requires hands to be ready, creating a target for a partner to aim at.
- Think: passing the ball accurately to a teammate enables us to keep possession.
- Feel: trying your best and wanting to improve shows self-motivation.
- Connect: showing fairness helps us to play by the rules and ensures that everyone can enjoy the game.
Words to know

Common mistakes
Some pupils struggle with over or under throwing the ball, throwing either too hard or too soft. In game situations, pupils often all gravitate towards the ball.
Encourage pupils to continue to use the correct technique and focus on following through towards their target. This will eliminate the need to throw harder or softer as the technique will support accuracy. Ensure pupils are using the whole space.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use pupils who have had more expereince and feel conifident to model the chest passing technique and allow the class to observe and feedback.
