Evaluating whether to attempt a difficult goal or take a safer point
The precision of shots hitting the intended target area
Choosing the most appropriate shot based on position and situation
Understanding where pupils are coming from and where they're going
Understanding forces and motion in ball flight, biomechanics of shooting technique, physics of projectile motion
Spatial awareness and positioning, using directional language, mapping playing areas and positions
Calculating scoring rates and percentages, measuring distances for shooting zones, angles and trajectories
Decision-making under pressure, building confidence through risk-taking, teamwork and supporting others
Move between practice areas during skill development, central position during games for optimal observation
Watch for shooting technique, decision-making quality, safety awareness, and inclusion of all students
Step in for safety concerns, technique correction when students are struggling, or to manage competitive intensity
Use clear, exaggerated demonstrations for technique, involve students in demonstrating good decision-making examples
Minimum 40m x 60m for full games, smaller areas acceptable for skill development
Firm, even surface free from holes or debris, suitable for running and shooting movements
Stop activity immediately if injury occurs, assess and provide appropriate first aid, ensure other students are supervised and safe
