12 1 Decision making 5 v 5 Children to play a rugby game using tactics. Use a third of the netball court for each game. 10 children per game. Coaching points: Attackers: -Try to run around the defender but pass if a teammate is in a better position. -Support players by staying behind the ball. Coaching points: Defenders: -Keep the head up focus on the tag. -Always hand the tag back after a successful tackle. Ensure pupils understand the rules of tagging and that the defender who tagged the attacker must stand to the side of the attacker so as not to intercept the pass. Pupils to use new skills. 30 tags and 3 balls and look for space. To make this easier (for attackers) use the same defender formation as above or ask defenders to walk or hop. To make this harder (for attackers) allow defenders to move forwards, backwards and sideways. Defenders can choose their own defensive pattern so the attackers cannot predict it. Discuss what has been learnt as stretching out. Recap skills looked at in the lesson.

13 Lesson 5 Age Range: Year 3 No. of Students: 30 Length of Session: 45 minutes Room/Location: Playground Learning Objectives: To refine decision making skills during a game Resources: Cones, tags and rugby balls.

After a successful tag tackle, the defender must hand back the tag and stay on the players side until their backward pass to their team mate has been taken. They must not intercept. To make the game harder: If the team in possession has not scored a try after seven tag tackles, possession is awarded to the other team with a free pass. To make the game easier: No pass interceptions allowed. Ensure pupils understand the rules of tagging and that the defender must stand to the side of the attacker so as not to intercept the pass. Attackers: -run forward. -dodge defenders. -only pass if tagged, or if a team mate is in a better position. -support players must stay behind the ball. Communicate between players.

14 10mins See notes in planning folder. Decision making - Move it Wide - Attack the space Have 2 groups using each third and go one after the other. 2 defenders (green) and 3 attackers (red) stand at the top of the pitch as shown below. When the whistle goes the defenders must run round to the right and past the green cones A, C and E. The attackers must run left and past the red cones B, D and F. The attackers aim is to score a try along the A, C, E line. The defenders aim is to stop them by catching their tag. You can have all 3 attackers with balls to make it easier or one ball between them to make it harder. Run wide. Call for ball. Get in good positions to receive ball. 30 tags and 6 balls. 18 cones Then swap positions so all children have had a go at each position.

15 10 mins Decision making 5 v 5 Use a third of the netball court for each game. This is similar to the game just played above, but this time the one ball carrier must run around cone D and one of the defenders must run around cone C. Two defenders and three attackers (one of whom has the ball) stand on the middle line A-B as before. When the whistle goes the attackers without the ball run around cone B and the ball carrier runs around cone D. They need to score a try alone line A-E. Meanwhile the defenders run around cone A and C. They need to prevent the attackers scoring by tagging them. Ensure pupils understand the rules of tagging and that the defender must stand to the side of the attacker so as not to intercept the pass. Pupils to use new skills. Encourage the attackers to draw defenders wide and look to produce gaps in the middle of the grid. Attackers will need to move around and pass quickly. 30 tags and 3 balls To increase pressure on either side, the teacher can stagger the start of the attackers or defenders. Discuss what has been learnt as stretching out. Recap skills looked at in the lesson.
