Key Concept 1

Fundamentals of structures and strategies:

The importance of:

principles of individual and team play (width/depth/mobility/delay).

tempo of play, for example using speed in attack/delay in defence

using space in attacking and defensive situations, for example manoeuvring and out-manoeuvring opponents, creating, exploiting and denying space

Key Feature (1)

pressurising opponents in attacking and defensive situations, for example overloading a defence, forcing errors

Pressurising Opponents By pressurising (overloading) the opponents in

the Fast Break, the attacking team will cause the opposition to make mistakes which will allow for more opportunities to score. This can come about by the changing tempo, working together, quick passes etc.

QuestionDescribe a time when you have used

pressurised opponents in attack which has resulted in a point or goal scoring opportunity. (4)

Changing Tempo

By changing the speed of play it can be possible to gain an advantage over the opposition. If a defence holds up the ball it can allow their attack to regroup and mount a serious challenge. In basketball the fast break makes use of the speed to get past the defence and set up a scoring opportunity with the least amount of pressure.

QuestionDescribe a time when you have changed the tempo within a game and give reasons for doing so.
