- Move: changing direction when running will help avoid being tagged by the defenders.
- Think: effectively choosing which space to run into will reduce likelihood of being tagged by the defenders.
- Connect: playing by the rules demonstrates fairness and empathy to others.
- Feel: stopping when tagged shows a commitment to trying hard.
Common misconception
Pupils will forget to use their arms and/or focus forwards when running into spaces. Pupils will run out of the area to avoid being tagged.
Explain and demonstrate running into space staying within the area. Explain the consequences of running off the court or pitch in a game. Model the correct technique for running and explain why it is important.
