What you’ll learn
I can execute an effective shooting technique and position myself for a rebound
Key learning points
- Move: creating a tall body position with an extended arm above the head will make it difficult for defenders.
- Move: quick movements to receive a pass into the circle are required to get into the space for a shot at goal.
- Think: once the shot has been released, time your jump for the rebound to take the ball at the highest point.
- Feel: using imagery to increase success in shooting can help improve confidence.
- Connect: encouraging each other after every shot will help to build shooting confidence.
Words to know
- standing shot
- a two handed stationery shot
- high arm release shot
- a technique that involves full extension of the arm above the head
- rebound
- gathering the ball after unsuccessful attempt at a goal
Common mistakes
Pupils keep their feet planted on the ground after taking a shot.
Always encourage a release of a shot, moving up onto the toes, so the player is in a suitable position to move forward for a rebound.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Only those who are being assessed as shooting positions need to show technique. Other pupils can then be seen as defending the shot/rebounding or supporting as a centre court player to get the ball to the shooting positions effectively.
