What you’ll learn
I can apply my skills in a full context game.
Key learning points
- Move: cardiovascular endurance helps to maintain the correct playing position throughout gameplay.
- Think: reacting to open play requires a thorough understanding of the laws of the game.
- Feel: depending on body shape and size, different players are better suited to different positions.
- Connect: guidance and leadership of the players around you can have a huge impact on team performance.
Words to know
- forwards

Common mistakes
Losing a game will affect your GCSE PE moderation score.
For your GCSE PE moderation, you are measured against how well you can demonstrate certain skills, tactics and decision making, not the final score of your game.
For parents, carers and teachers
- In moderation, using the conditioned practices in previous lessons will provide opportunities to see certain skills before the game. Remember, contact versions of the game should only be managed by suitably experienced and qualified staff (inc. concussion training).
