Period 5 Invasion Review Blog #4

We are in our Invasion Games Unit! An Invasion Game is a sport where two teams are attacking each others goal or area (basketball, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football etc...).

We are learning different concepts of invasion games and have been using basketball as a means of acquiring understanding.
We have concentrated on 3 concepts:
Attacking the Goal
Creating Space/Using Space
Defending the Goal.

Please list some of the things that we have practiced in basketball to "Attack the Goal" or to "Create Space/Use Space" or to "Defend the Goal". After you have listed an activity/drill/game and what concept it works on, relate how this invasion game concept works with floor hockey/soccer, our next unit.

This entry is worth 5 points. You will get one point for each of the following parts to your entry:
Specific drill or game
Concept worked on
How the concept relates to Soccer/floor hockey
Sentence use.
First and Last name in the entry!

Attacking The Goal:
We played 4 on four half court games.
Creating Space/Using Space:
We played a possession game to practice spacial aspects.
Defending the goal:
We practiced person-to-person defence and zone defence through half court games.

These skills relate to floor hockey/soccer because in each of those games you have to be able to attack a goal, move into space and defend your goal.

The keepaway game 2 vs. 3 with the basketball helped the method of creating/ using space. In order to be successful you had to move around, create spaces, and move into those empty spaces. Creating space is important to hockey and soccer because in order to get the puck or the ball you have to move around and create pockets where people can hit/kick the ball/puck to. Once you have the moving around and passing down, then you can shoot.

In basketball games getting open is a concept which can be done by moving into an open space.
In soccer you need space to recieve the ball/ get passed to.

The monkey in the middle (keep away in your terms) drill works on creating/using space. This concept relates to soccer or floor hockey because you need space to effectively pass the ball/puck without giving it to the other team. If you can create space and use it effectively, then you will have a much higher chance of making the shot or pass. The drills for attacking the goal are the half court games we played. This relates to soccer because working with one goal and not much space, we can work on attacking the goal rather than keeping the ball long enough to get it into the lane. The drill we performed to defend the goal is the person to person defense we worked on. This lets us stick to a person while keeping our body between them and the goal so we can stuff them and defend the goal. This relates to soccer because we can use the same principle to kick the ball away from the goal area by staying between the goal and the opponent to protect the goal.
Btw, this is the pd 5 blog not bolg

Attacking the Goal: We did the 3 on 3 game where you have to pass twice then try to shoot.
Creating Space/Using Space: We did games where there are 2 baskets and have half the gym to run around in.
Defending the Goal: We played real games where defense is needed.

In soccer, you have to get the ball in the goal just like a basketball in the net. The two games are virtually alike and tactics can be adapted easily between the two.

Attack the goal: We practiced shooting and calculated our free throw percentages.
Create Space/Use space: We played keep away with teams of 3 vs. 2, and had to get open in order to successfully pass the ball.
Defend the goal: We practiced both Person to Person defense and zone defense.

These relate to soccer/ floor hockey, because when attacking the goal, you need to be able to kick/shoot into the goal, like shooting into the basket. Creating and using space in soccer/ field hockey is when we dribble the ball or puck and successfully pass it to teach other while maintaining posession of the ball or puck. You can also play either person to person or zone defense when playing either soccer or field hockey.

Shooting during knockout is a form of attacking the goal.Cresting space is practice when we get open for a pass during the game. Trying to keep people from passing it to each other in keep away is a way to practice defending.
In soccer you attack the goal by shooting and trying to score, just like in basketball. You are trying to get open for a pass and keep people from scoring in both games.

Creating Space:
We passes the ball in a keepaway type game. This helped us learn how to create space and get open because you had to look to the open space and move to them in order to recieve the ball and attack the goal. This relates to soccer and feild hockey becuase in those sports in order to make and acurate pass/shot you need to get open, move away from others, and look for an open space!

We have been playing 4on4 games,because we need to learn how to work in teams, and also we kept running in order to create space for making shots.it is related to soccer and hockey because the basic thing is you have to attack a goal and defend a goal. Creating space is in order to creat a better chance for you and your teamates to make a goal.

I like the way you are thinking so far keep it up!
Kevin, thanks for the spell check

Specific Drill or Game: 5 on 5 Games

Concept Worked On: Passing

How The Concept Relates: Passing is used in the majority of the sports. In Soccer, you use your feet. Therefore,. passing is always neccessary and effective.

Drill:playing games against other teams and trying to score in the other teams goal
Creating/using space:playing on a decent sized court gave enough room to PASS to other people on your team
Defending the Goal:we used different methods to keep the goal safe from opposing teams such as person to person

Passing relates to floor hockey/soccer because if you dont pass the ball it is gonna be taken away from you by the other team and you wont get anywhere.(Point A to Point B) etc.

attacking the goal: we play 4 on 4 macthes on half court and try getting the ball into the hoop

Creating space: WE played full court games and learned to use the space

defending the goal: we played games where we defended in our zones

these things are related to soccer because thats what you do in order to play a good game to attack the goal, use space, and defend the goal.

The keep away games helped us practice creating space/using space in that we had to keep moving into the empty space to either catch the ball, or prevent someone else from catching it. Also, creating space allows the person holding the ball to pass it to another player. This is used in floor hockey/soccer by the fact that the person with the puck/ball needs to pass to someone on his/her team. It can also be used for a player on the other team to steal the puck/ball.

Playing that keep- away game help us with trying to/create open space. You had to be moving non-stop, setting picks, etc. In soccer/floor hockey creating open space helps you get open so that your teammate can pass the ball/puck to you

When we used zone defense it taught me to defend the goal more effectively. In soccer, you play more zone defense than person to person. This will help when defending the net because each defender has a specific place to guard.

The shootout game worked on attacking the goal. Attacking the goal would help in soccer/field hockey without attacking the goal i guess you wouldnt win.

When we played 4 on 4 for we practiced person to person defense and we practiced creating space. We also practiced zone defense by playing half court games. For soccer/field hockey these drills and ways to attack/defend the goal will be important because we need to attack the goal and defend the goal in order to win.

Attacking the Goal - We played half-court games to help us understand the concept of attacking the goal. As there is more room for us to run and more space between us and the other team, we are less concerned about the ball entering possession of our opponents and more about scoring. This is useful in floor hockey/soccer because, presuming we’ll have more room, we can concentrate on making goals rather than keeping the ball amongst our teammates.
Creating Space/Using Space - We played keep away to help us understand the concept of creating/using space. It relates to floor hockey/soccer because we have to learn to use space wisely so we can pass the puck/ball to our teammates and still keep it away from our opponents.
Defending the Goal – We also learned about P2P (person to person) defense and zone defense. They relate to floor hockey/soccer because in those games, one must either guard his territory or stick to a specific person and prevent him from scoring a goal.

We played 5 on 5 full court basketball is an attacking the goal game.

we practiced creating space/using space by playing keep away in the begining of the unite

Defend the goal we used man on man and person to person to make it challenging to the opposing team to score.

skills like these are simaler to floor hockey/and soccer because in those games you have to continue to put presure on the goal, be open to pass to and assit goals and be able to also defend your goal by playing man on man and zone defense.

Attacking the goal- Driving to the basket
(Running to score a goal- soccer)

Creating space- Cutting to different "ureas"
(out running other team- soccer)

Defending the goal- Fouling people really hard.

Just kidding.

Out rebounding.
(goalie- soccer)

Was that what I needed to do?

Attack the Goal- We learned how to pass in order to find the opening to score. We played keep away to practice our offense/attacking the goal. This could relate to floor hockey/soccer because in both of these sports a goal is involved in order to score.

Create Space/Use Space- Again, we used passing in order to move the defenders apart and leave an opening for a shot/layup. We played keep away to practice creating space. This can relate to floor hockey/soccer because you need to create space in order to maintain possession of the puck/ball.

Defend the Goal- We practiced using man to man defense and zone defense to defend the goal in order to defend the goal. This can relate to floor hockey/soccer because in both of these sports there is a goal in which you need to defend. Having all players guarding a person or playing defense helps the goalie to defend the goal better.

Attacking the Goal: The three on three half court games demonstrated the importance of attacking the goal. Since we had to have at least two passes before shooting instead of shooting right after checking the ball, we tried to get to the goal as fast as possible to squeeze in as many games as we could. Attacking the goal is important in soccer/floor hockey because if players take too long in shooting, the ball can be taken by the other team.

Creating Space: The game of Keep Away demonstrated the importance of being constantly in motion and finding open space. If team members are always moving, there is a higher percentage of them catching the ball, as opposed to the other team. In soccer/floor hockey, this is important because it will be easier for team members to pass to you so you can shoot.
Defending the Goal: We practiced defending the goal by playing person to person and zone defense. In soccer, where there is a larger area to cover, it would be easier to play zone defense so defensive players do not have to run too much.

\attacking The Goal: We did the 3 on 3 game where you pass twice then shoot.

Creating Space/Using Space:we did a game where we run around in a circle

Defending the goal:we knock the ball out of their hands

we use the same concepts for soccer except we kick

The keep away game that worked on creating space and passing is useful in games like soccer,basketball,and hockey. Getting open to recive a pass and passing to get the ball/puck closer to the goal quicker for a shot.

Attacking the goal:
half court games berfore tournaments
Creating and using space:
larger games where 2 teams play and one refs
Defending the goal:
person on person defence and zone defence also in the larger games. In small games zone defence only.

soccer and feild hockey relate to basketball since they all are considered has invasion games, in the sense that you consistently move around with or without the ball.

Free Throws.
This is attacking the goal. We shot at the foul line 10 times in order to caculate our shot percentage. This relates to hockey because we need to shoot into the goal.

Attacking the goal:
4 or 4 basketball games

Defending the Goal:
person on person defense
zone defense

Creating/Using Space:
monkey in the middle with four on the outside and 1 person in the middle as the monkey

These concepts relates to soccer/floor hockey because you have to be able to get open to recieve the ball which is creating space, you need to attack the goal when playing in a game to shoot and you need to block the ball to defend the goal

We played four-on-four half court games. The games incorporated all of the different concepts we concentrated on.
Creating/using space was getting open so a teammate could pass you the ball.
Attacking the goal was moving towards the basket and then trying to shoot.
Defending the goal was trying to prevent the opposing team from scoring. We practiced person-to-person defence for this.

All of the skills relate to soccer/floor hockey because these sports are also invasion games with the same concepts. You need to mantain the ball, be able to shoot and protect your goal.

Attacking the Goal: We played games to help learn how to reach the other team's goal. We need this in soccer because the point of the game is to attack the goal and make a shot.

Creating Space/Using Space: When we play, we try to find open space on the court so that our team mate can pass it to us. We also play person on person, so we use up our opponent's space. We need space in soccer because we need an open area to easily be passed the ball.

Defending the Goal:We play person on person or zone. When we play zone we cover all areas around our basket so that the opposing team cannot easily get to it. We need this in soccer because we do not want the opposing team to score in our goal.

Attacking the goal:
We played in teams, and had 3 people pass to eachother two times and then try to shoot
Creating space/using space:
When playing in teams of three we had to move around to help our teamate when needing to pass to someone
Defending the goal:
we practiced person to person defence

In soccer/hockey we need to know the same concepts. To help our teamate we have to move around so that theyre able to pass to us during a game. Other players on the same team will also have to make sure that when our goal post is threatened that they will be able to defend it, and we have to have players who can attack the other teams goal.

We played 4 on 4 games to attack the goal. We played keepaway to learn how to use space and how to get open. We learned zone and man to man defence to learn how to defend the goal. These skills will help us in most invasion games because you need those skills in all invasion games.
