Lesson 2 – Practical Lesson
FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS

In this lesson you will divide into groups of 3. In these groups you will spend a few minutes at 9 different stations, where you will practice one or more of the fundamental movement skills we learnt about last week.

Each of the stations has either a netball or a soccer theme. At some stations, the fundamental movement skill you will practice has been modified to make the skill more applicable to the sport of netball or soccer. Skills that are sport specific are called specific movement skills.

Below is a peer assessment table for each of the stations you will complete today. What you need to do is swap sheets with your group members, so that everyone has someone else’s sheet. Make sure you have written your name on your sheet! After everyone in your group has had at least 3 turns at practising the skill at each station, you need to spend a short amount of time assessing how well you think the person you are assessing performed the skill.

Use the boxes marked “yes” or “no” to indicate if the person you are assessing completed each individual component of the task, then grade them as ‘developing’, “proficient”, or “super” according to the number of ‘yeses’’ and “no’s” they have received. E.g.: all “yes” is super, mostly “yes” is proficient, and less than half “yes” is developing.

Station 1: Static Balance / The catch

In this drill player one stands at the cone with the ball. Player 2 stands at the cone 10m away facing player 1.
Player 2 must jog towards player one. Player 1 must time a pass so that player 2 catches the ball about 2m away from player 1.
Player 2 must catch the ball, land on two feet, and then take one step forward. Player 2 must then balance on their front foot for 10 seconds.
Repeat 3 times, then player 2 becomes player 1, and the person who sat out becomes player 2. Repeat again with original player 1 having a go as player 2.
