Tactical problem and Game #2

In the game of foot ball a tactical problem is getting around the opposition to the goal. Two games to help learn this skill are:




Bomb Squad
Required: Large play area, Gripper Football or FlingSock
Players: Large groups

Start with two teams. One team is playing offense the other is defense. The bomb squad is the offense and has less people than the defense. The bomb squad will devise a plan of how to get the bomb to the goal. The bomb can be anything good things to play with are the Gripper Football or the FlingSock. The defense sets up men to guard the goal, which can be anything, but it has to be big so it can be hit by the bomb. The defense sets up men all over the boundaries (big field is good or woods). The bomb squad tries to get past all the guards and hit the goal. If a member of the bomb squad is captured then they go to jail which defense should guard also. The captured player can get out if his/her teammate taps them. If the goal is hit, bomb squad wins but if all the bomb squad members are caught, defense wins. To make it even more interesting or harder, send two bomb squads with one ball each, which makes it harder for the defence.


Zombie
Required: Balloons, string and safe play area
Players: Large groups


Pick one person to be the Zombie, that player will not be given a balloon. All other players will be given one balloon with a piece of string to tie around their waist. Once the balloon is tied on, players must position the balloon to be in the middle of their back clearly exposed. Players are given a 45 second head start to hide from the Zombie. The Zombie is released to go and make other Zombies by popping other student's balloons. Once a player's balloon is popped (either by accidentally or by a Zombie) they become a Zombie and begin to pop other player's balloons as well. The game is timed and at the end when the allotted time is complete, any non-Zombies will be the winners. For something more challenging try playing without lights.

BONUS GAME

Pizza Shop
Players: Medium to large groups

Two people (pizza makers) stand in the middle of the gym and the rest of the players stand behind a line at one end of the gym. The coordinator goes down the line informing them what topping they are by saying pepperoni, mushroom, or ham. The pizza makers are to call out one topping and those toppings are to run across the gym past the safe line. If they’re tagged they must stop where there at and sit down. They try to tag anyone that passes them during the game. Do this until there are only two people remain in the game. They are the new pizza makers

Tactical problem and Game

In the game of basketball A tactical problem is controlling the ball. Two games to help learn this skill are:


Tunnel Ball

Equipment: Medium or large ball.(basketball as well)
Skittle, cone or stump to act as the target
Chalk or rope to mark out the areas around the target.
Preparation: Mark two large concentric circles around the target (T), giving an area big enough for one team to play in without getting too close to the target post.

Divide in teams. One team takes up the position of the defenders whose job it is to stop the target from being hit, but may only move within the boundary of the shaded area. The attacking team can move anywhere outside of this area and has the job of scoring by hitting the target. Change teams around after 3 hits have been scored. Encourage passing between team members. All attacks or passes intercepted by the defending team are thrown back to the outer area. For basketball make sure that they use proper dribbling skills.

And:

Say catch

Equipment: Basketball

Game is best played with groups of 5 or more players. Before the start of each round choose a subject such as names of movies/films or equipment needed to go to the beach, etc.

Players stand in a circle spread out enough from each other, about 6 inches to a foot). Someone starts by throwing ball to any other player. Before the player who the ball was thrown to can catch the ball, they HAVE to say something that relates to the subject picked at the beginning of the game. For example if the subject was 'equipment for the beach' answers could be; towel, bathing suit, chair or anything that relates to the beach, etc.. If a player is wrong before they catch the ball, they're out! The last person standing is the winner!

Bonus game:

Zig Zag ball

2 teams each with a ball. Teams stand in two lines so that opposing team members are spaced alternately down the line. Second line is parallel to first, but starts with a member of the opposite team. Objective is to pass the ball without dropping it to each team member in turn so that the ball takes a zigzag route down the line. Drops must be passed back to team member that dropped it. First team to finish wins.

1--B--3--D--5-- F--7--H
A--2--C--4--E--6--G--8

GPAI - Game performance assessment instrument

A GPAI is a game performance assessment instrument and is used as an assessment tool and also a method for developing the students tactical awareness of the game. It is a tool that students can use to rate their progress.
This GPAI is intended for baseball there are two types of assessments that I have included for baseball one for defence and the other for offence. The defence tactical problems are ready position and support/cover and the offence tactical problem is base running.

Tactical problems

First, a tactical problem is a decision or movement that the player must make or do to continue in a game. For example some tactical problems for soccer could be, get the ball, keep the ball, make a shot on net and score a goal.
soccer is considered to be in the invasion game invasion games category. One tactical problem for invasion games is defending the goal, there are a few games that help students practice this problem. One game is capture the flag, where both teams have a flag and must defend it as well as attempting to capture the opposing teams flag. Another game that practices this tactical problem would be shadow tag, there are two teams (defenders and invaders) this is played in the dark with flashlights in a wooded area. The defenders set up a base, or a location that they must defend. The invaders start as a team sneaking there way into the location if an invader is caught they are sent back to their starting point or in jail (out of the game). The goal is that all the invaders must make their way to the location if the team makes it they win but if the defenders capture or succeed in stopping all the invaders before time runs out than they have successfully defended.
