Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Move: when trying to outwit an opponent, we combine our passing and dribbling skills to create an attack on goal.
- Move: to shoot, hold the ball in one hand, the other supporting, elbow up, pushing with your legs, extending the arm.
- Think: carefully selecting when and where to shoot, pass or dribble in a game helps improve our performance.
- Feel: striving to improve our shooting even when we are struggling to score demonstrates self-motivation.
- Connect: encouragement and cooperation are important when working as a team to improve our performances in games.
Common misconception
Pupils believe that they only need to use their arms when shooting.
Explain to pupils that shooting effectively involves the whole body, paticularly the legs that give us more power. Coordinated body movement will be more successful than just arm strength.
