  3. Practise — check a common mix-up

    The best player should always have the ball.

    Warm-ups are a waste of time.

  4. Apply / Create — Team Tactic Plan

    Design one attacking tactic, try it in a game, record what happened and your heart-rate zones.

    Evidence type: movement checklist · accessible alternative always allowed (speak it, draw it, or show an adult).

    How it is judged (rubric)
    • Beginning: Joins game
    • Developing: Passes and moves
    • Secure: Applies tactic, officiates fairly, records heart rate
    • Extending: Adapts tactic based on evidence
  5. Explain — say what you did
