Lesson 9
Today we will…
learn how to gather data on half
court man-to-man defence.
learn why this method is appropriate.
describe the practices you have used
to develop half court man-to-man
defence.
Data Gathering
I played a _____________10 minute
game of basketball. As I played my
performance was_________. After
the game I watched my performance
and completed an ___________
__________. The ________
________ looked at my performance
in ______ _______man-to-man
defence.
Data Gathering
I played competitive a 10 minute
game of basketball. As I played my
performance was videoed. After the
game I watched my performance and
completed an observation
schedule. The observation
schedule looked at my performance
in half court man-to-man defence.
Data Gathering cont.
My performance was broken down
into the following areas:
Stays between ________ and the ball.
Applies __________.
_____ team mates
Steals ____
Communicates
Data Gathering cont.
My performance was broken down
into the following areas:
Stays between player and the ball.
Applies pressure.
Helps team mates
Steals ball
Communicates
Data Gathering cont.
If I did something successfully a
____ was placed on the sheet. A
cross was marked on the sheet if I
was ___________ at one of the
areas. Once the observation
schedule was complete I could
identify my ________ and
__________.
Data Gathering cont.
If I did something successfully a tick
was placed on the sheet. A cross
was marked on the sheet if I was
unsuccessful at one of the areas.
Once the observation schedule was
complete I could identify my
strengths and weaknesses.
Why this method was
appropriate…
Competitive game – was a true reflection
of my ability as it was challenging yet not
too hard.
Video – pausing and slowing down the
game made data collection more accurate.
Observation schedule is a permanent
record of my performance that can be
looked at to measure improvements.
Data clearly identifies strengths and
weaknesses in my performance so I know
what I have to work on.
Developing Half Court Man-to-Man
1v1
2v2
3v3
Shell Drill (inactive)
Shell Drill (semi-active)
5v5 half court
Shell Drill
Offensive players spread round the key in
a horseshoe shape.
Defensive players match up with offensive
players.
The offensive players pass the ball round
the key. They are not trying to score!
Depending on where the ball is in
comparison to the defenders, they should
be fulfilling one of the three defensive
roles.
To show they know their position players
should call it out e.g. ‘ball, ball, ball’.
Homework
Due …
Describe the ‘shell drill’ and how you
would develop the ‘Shell Drill’ to
make it more game-like. (3)
