Catch Me If You Can- Defence Skills

Description:

Every week we learn about skills and movement that will help us play sports. This term’s focus has been around defense. We made a video showing some of the goals we have been practicing. I have highlighted the thing I think I have done well YELLOW and one thing I would like to work on PINK.

WALT: Defensive skills and movements

Success Criteria:

Body Movement

• Weight on balls of feet
• Feet shoulder width apart
• Knees flexed
• Concentration and eyes on ball, head and eyes up
• Push hard off outside foot and go forwards to attack pass
• Quick small feet, stay on balls of feet
• Arms within confines of body
• Take feet to ball
• Land with a SBP

Intercepting

• Body angled to see player and ball
• Anticipate pass and player movement

Restrictive Marking

• Meet player as they start towards the ball/where they want to go
• stay close to the attacking player
• Head and eyes up, arms close to body to avoid obstruction/contact
• Angle body so attacking player is ‘pushed’ away from where he/she wants to go
• 0.9m from ball carrier
• 
  

Feedback/Feedforward:

 I think that you are doing a good job at staying on the balls of your feet and getting to the ball fast, but you could work on your timing and trying to intercept more often. Ana

Evaluation:

I think I did a good job at defending in time to get the ball. But I think that I could work on timing the ball so I know when to go at the right time. If I was to time the ball I would find a pattern when the ball has been passed each time.
