“By the end of this book you will know how to catch, pass and support, so you and your team can move the ball together.”

What your player learns

By the end of the book, your player can:

  • Explain that a pass must travel backwards or level, never forwards, and show it with a partner.
  • Show a “hands ready” target and catch with two hands, eyes on the ball.
  • Pass to a partner's hands from both the left and the right over a short distance.
  • Describe what a support runner does: stays behind or level with the ball carrier, keeps passing distance, and calls for the ball.
  • Name two ways to show respect in a game: thank team-mates, shake hands with opponents and thank the referee.

For grown-ups: There is no tackling here. The game at the end is Coach Dan’s training game with tag belts, so there is no contact.

With Mia, Leo, Coach Dan, Priya, Tomás and Coach Ana.
