In Year 6 we are now developing basketball skills. We have talked about basketball being an invasion game and in order to play well we must be able to develop the skills needed in order to score points. This includes dribbling and passing the ball. We have practised how to dribble safely and quickly with the ability to change direction and speed. Today we passed the ball in partners using a chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass and shoulder pass, discussing which technique is best at which times. The children then got together in fours to try and incorporate the dribbling and passing to score points against each other. It was great fun and was more difficult than the children expected. We will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
