Assessment Opportunities
•
Students will give feedback to another performer and
the teacher, commenting on their techniques, making
corrections using key words.
•
Use of higher and lower order Q & A at beginning,
middle and end of lesson.
•
Hands down questioning relating to the breakdown of
the lateral pass. Testing for retention.
•
HA pupils will be posed scenarios to challenge them
further.
•
Number of completed passes
•
Peer assessment through students matching up with
someone of a similar standard
Differentiation:
•
Matching of ability - separate games for higher and lower order ability
•
Provide more advanced technical guidance to higher ability
•
Increase distance between passes
•
Reduce space and therefore time for higher ability to make decisions
•
Use overload activities for lower ability to increase chances of success
•
Use a variety of students to demonstrate, coach and referee
•
Have more progressions for Higher Ability students
•
Allow lower ability more time to groove skills
•
Use a range of higher order to lower order questions (see planned questions
section)
•
Increase the complexity of the challenges for high ability kids e.g. 2v1 to 3v2.
•
Students encouraged to show flair and range of passes during keep ball
•
Gold, Silver and Bronze targets

End Game
5 mins
Description and set up
•
Raising body temperature and dynamic stretching in 10x10
•
All players run around and stretch in a grid must not bump into each other.
•
Four players to carry a ball by the belly (chasers) and see how many players they can
touch in 30 secs.
End Ball (rules). See lesson support page.
•
Approx. teams of 6 a side (no contact).
•
Aim – 5 players of team in possession try to get the ball to their goalkeeper who is
behind the opposition’s try line.
•
Player in possession is not allowed to move but all other team members can run into
a space and call for the ball.
•
Change the goalkeepers after every score. (number players 1-6)
•
All passes must be perfect passes. If they are dropped, go out of play or are touched
by a defender then the ball is given to the defending team, who now become the
attackers.
After a few minutes,
•
Stop allowing passes that are overhead height, then no goal keepers and they can
either pass or run and touch down
Key Factors
•
Raise body temperature
•
Increase blood flow to
muscles
•
Raise mental arousal
•
Dynamic stretch
•
Look for a space
•
Run into the space
•
Pass and look for
•
another space
•
Call for the ball

•
Observe warm up and games to assess strengths and weaknesses of pupils. Question pupils to check on understanding of the aim. How to create space – find space, pass
and move, use width, speed, fakes, change direction, call for the ball)
Keep Ball
•

•
•
Work in grids in groups of 4 with one player trying to get the ball from the others, who
are trying to make 10 perfect passes (keep ball). Gold 10, Silver 7, Bronze 5
No passes above head height to be allowed.
Players to discover the best position to be in, in order to call for a pass. (away from
the defender, use width, no defender in between)

Lateral Pass
2v1
10 mins
Description and set up
•
5 groups of 6 - 10x20
•
Use iPad to show the next drill to person demonstrating (Skills and drills, U10s drills– Draw and pass - 2v1)
•
Two defenders can’t move from their positions
•
Use best attacker to demonstrate exercise in slow motion.
•
Demonstrate lateral Pass and seek feedback and corrections.
•
Demo at full pace and show transitions - two players pass to each other while 2
watch and analyse and say why it did or didn’t work.
•
Use iPad to show students their passing – feedback on own performance
Progressions
•
Two players hold bosh pads can ‘t leave their lines - Sell a dummy if you feel that the
defender has committed to the receiver too early.
•
After a few minutes defenders allowed to leave their lines with bosh pad
•
After a few minutes defenders put bosh pads down and can tag tackle
•
Introduce the techniques used in 2v1 situations. Create time and space for the
receiver by running for the inside shoulder of the defender and moving the defender
away from the receiver.

One neutral player is always on the attacking team to increase chances of success
One person is referee change after each game
HA group moved to 3v3 to increase difficulty

•
Ask questions to check for understanding of the ‘key factors’. Relating to the main objectives –(find space, hold, catch and pass)
Ask the pupils to comment on techniques and tactics that went well and what didn’t go so well
What fitness e.g. speed did they demonstrate today
Ask for a volunteer to lead a cool down on the way back to the changing rooms.
