Engaging Introduction to Netball Attacking Skills

Objective

To spark enthusiasm and set the stage for a lesson on netball attacking skills, engaging students in a fun and relatable way.

Warm-Up Activity: "The Netball Movie Trailer"

Description

Begin the lesson by showing a short, energetic clip (1-2 minutes) from a popular movie that embodies teamwork, strategy, and dynamic action—think along the lines of "Remember the Titans" or "Cool Runnings."

Implementation Steps:

  1. Set the Scene:

    • Gather the students in a semi-circle or group setting.
    • Explain that today’s lesson will focus on attacking skills in netball, which is all about teamwork and strategy—just like in the movies!

  2. Watch the Clip:

    • Play the selected movie trailer, encouraging students to pay attention to the characters' strategies and teamwork.
    • Briefly discuss what makes these moments exciting: the teamwork, the passing of the ball, and the strategic plays.

  3. Connect to Netball:

    • After watching, prompt a discussion with questions such as:
      • “What skills do you think were essential for the characters in the clip?”
      • “How can we use these skills in our netball game?”
    • Tie their answers back to attacking in netball—emphasising movement, communication, and the importance of good passes.

  4. Introduce the Lesson Focus:

    • Conclude the discussion by stating that today's lesson will challenge them to apply the same excitement and strategies in netball, focusing on key attacking skills like dodging, passing, and shooting.

Transition to Activity

After establishing the connection between teamwork in the movie and their netball skills, you can smoothly transition into physical activities where students will practice dodging techniques, effective passing, and positioning in small units or pairs.

By using a relatable warm-up activity that carries the excitement of cinema to the sports field, students will be more engaged and prepared to learn and effectively practice netball attacking skills.
