What you’ll learn
I can make good decisions about when to dribble and when to pass the ball to help my team score points.
Key learning points
- Move: moving into a space after passing to a teammate will help your team attack and score points.
- Think: looking for space before dribbling or passing in a game can help your team attack and score.
- Think: you should dribble when you have space and time, otherwise you should pass to help your team to keep possession
- Feel: counting the scores accurately demonstrates honesty and a commitment to trying our best.
- Connect: working well and communicating with others helps with making the correct decisions.

Common mistakes
Pupils can panic when receiving the ball in a game situation and rush to throw it away. Pupils all run towards the ball carrier rather than finding space.
Emphasise the importance of finding space and looking around to understand what to do when receiving the ball. Make sure they understand they have time to react and think before sending the ball on to their teammates.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Sometimes a fear of being hit or not catching the ball makes pupils hesitant to receive it. Ensure to factor challenges into games where all pupils need to touch the ball before scoring, but time is allowed for thinking and sending.
