Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Move: creating space for a pass requires us to move quickly into an open space.
- Move: passing accurately by sending the ball to a teammate's targets makes it hard for defenders to intercept the ball.
- Think: making effective decisions on where to pass and move to, enables our team to keep possession of the ball.
- Feel: applying maximum effort by trying to create space even if we are finding it difficult shows self motivation.
- Connect: demonstrating respect to our teammates and encouraging them to keep going helps to keep possession.
Common misconception
Pupils stand still once they are in a space and just wait for the ball to come to them.
Explain that we must keep moving to find spaces to ensure our team always has several passing options. If we stand still, the defenders could intercept the ball.
