Initial assessment:

1

Continuous assessment:

- Passing:

When passing, the ball should be held with both hands, with fingers in line with the seams of the ball, not holding the ends of the ball. The fingers should be outstretched, holding the ball firmly and in complete control. It must be a backward pass.

To transfer the pass to a team mate the body should twist at hips until shoulders face receiver, ball should be swung back at hip level, arms swing and release ball towards receiver, follow-through: hands end action pointing to receiver.

- Receiving/catching:

When receiving the pass the player must concentrate and keep his/her eyes on the ball all the way from the passer's hands. He/she must catch the ball close to his/her body with both hands. Elbows are slightly bent and fingers are open and extended towards the ball, and as he/she catches it the receiver cushions the pass into his/her “target area”, with both hands enveloping the ball safely to his/her body.

- Tackling:

The real tackle rule is modified to avoid physical contact. Therefore, the tackle I will assess consists on placing both hands on the opponent's hips at the same time.

2-3

- Running with the ball:

When carrying the ball on the run, it should be held in complete control either in both hands or against the chest.

2-3

- Pass, receive, tackle and run in game situation.

I would like to assess the mentioned skills in game situation to see if pupils are able to use them under pressure, making the best decision in each situation.

For example, when they run with the ball, they should decide either to hold the ball in both hands when they want to pass it or hold the ball against the chest when running clear in a full break. In passing skill, to see if they choose the team mate who is not marked for any adversary. In tackling I would like to see if they respect the non contact rule in a game situation.

- Try:

I want to assess if pupils can touch the ball down (in the opponent's in-goal or over the opponents' goal line) with downward pressure with both hands. My emphasis is more on the action of touching the ball down with pressure rather than on whether they score or not.

- Scrum:

I want to asses if children can properly develop all the roles in the scrum (hooker, scrum half, loose head prop and tight head prop).

- Line-out:

I am interested in assessing if children can properly develop all the roles in the line-out (hooker, prop and scrum-half).

- Scrum and line-out in game situation.

I would like to check out if children know in which situation they have to form the scrum or the line-out when they are playing a rugby game.

Lesson

Activities

- Fielding

Children can pick up the ball in different ways: a) with right foot alongside the ball (if they are right handed), and with left foot (if they are left handed). The ball must be scooped with one (hand facing forward or backwards, depending on where your team mate is, and knees bent. B) Fielders can go down on one knee, side on to gather the ball in two hands.

2

- Catching

The ball should be caught with two hands where possible. Children must use upward cradle if ball drops in front or Australian method if ball arrives at/above chest height.

1

5

- Throwing

When throwing, children should aim and throw the ball accurately to partner's hands.

1

5

- Bowling

Children should grip the ball correctly (see picture), and practice the three positions taught in overarm bowling: start, coil and throw the ball. When bowling the left leg (for right handed) should be off the ground with knee held high. At first, the ball should be held against cheek and non bowling arm should be pointing towards the sky.

3

6

- Batting (grip, stance)

Right-handed pupils should grip with their right hand at the bottom and the left hand at the top of the handle. Left-handed vice-versa. There should be no space between the two hands.

Players should stand sideways with feet about apart; left foot forwards (for right-handed players). Hands should rest against the left thigh, left shoulder and elbow should point towards bowler. The bottom of the bat rests on the ground behind the back foot.

HOCKEY

Lesson

Activities

Initial assessment:

1

Continuous assessment:

- Dribbling:

Dribble should be done by using only the flat side of the stick, placing the left hand at top of it and the right half way down. It is also important to blend forward and bend knees to dribble the ball in front. They should keep the ball in close control, and look where they are going.

2

2

- Tackling:

The grip is as for dribble (placing the left hand at top of it and the right half way down). They can push or pull the ball to win the tackle, but they must not tackle opponent's stick. They should keep the stick low and down to trap the ball.

3

3

- Stopping the ball:

The grip is two hands apart to control stopping with left hand extended forward slightly to control the stop. They can use reverse stick to stop the ball. The stick has to be upright.

2

2

- Pushing:

Right hand should control direction and power. They have to follow through the ball with stick no higher than waist height and bend knees for a strong push.

2

3

- Hitting:

The grip for hitting should be with hands together. Sometimes they need to change grip to hit, sliding right hand up beside left hand. They should look for controlled hitting with wrist firm and follow through towards the goal.

4

3

- Receiving:

To receive they have to move feet quickly in line with the ball and hold the stick down.

4

3-4

- Dribble, push, tackle, shoot, hit, pass and receive in game situation.

I would like to assess these skills in a game situation to see if pupils are able to use them under pressure, making the best decision in each situation. For example, see if they work hard to dodge into space to receive a pass or if pupils try to move to support each other and create spaces for the shot.

3

7

- Practice the change of grid

I want to assess if children are able to change grip depending on the actions they are doing. If after dribbling (hands apart), they want to hit, they have to slide right hand up beside left hand (hands together). If they have just hit the ball (hands together), and after hitting they need to stop it, they have to change grip and put hands apart to stop the ball.

3-4

- The bully formation in a game situation

I would like to check out if children can do the bully properly and if they know in which situation they have to form the bully when they are playing a hockey game.

- Support their team in a triangular formation

When they are in attacking situations, player should be in a triangular formation and not in a line formation.
