Think carefully about the practices, skills and tactics that you have been working on over the past 4-6 weeks, as a player and as an official.

Strengths

Areas for development

Good footwork because she was quick to pass and move quickly. This will allow her to be free for the next pass.

Dodging was good as she was quick with her feet which helped her be free so that she can accept a ball passed to her.

Catching was good as she didn’t allow it to go to the other players. This will allow her and her team to score more goals and stop her opponents from receiving the ball.

She’s needs to pass on target because if she doesn’t then the ball will be lost to her opponents.

Defence needs improvement. Needs to keep eyes on the ball and jump for ball when needed.

Needs to intercept more when defending. This will allow her and her team to stop the ball from being shot by the other team.

Needs to improve on the power of her passes to her team because if the power of her passes is weak or too strong then the team player wouldn’t be able to catch the ball. This will give the opposing team a chance.

Needs to signal for the ball quickly when she’s free. This means that her opponent won’t be able to know when she’ll be able to get the ball.

Identify three ways in which their performance or knowledge has improved since starting the course.

1 Knowing the rules and technique when it comes to footwork

2 Knowing the technique used when passing and shooting a ball.

3 Being able to dodge, attack and defend effectively.

Give this performer three action points that will help them improve their performance or knowledge in the future. Reference should be made to an appropriate Governing Body course if possible.

1 To be able to improve her performance, she needs to bend her knees and elbows also she needs to add more power when shooting the ball into the net. This will allow her to shoot more accurately when she’s scoring.

2 To be able to improve her performance, she needs to intercept more and stay on her toes which will help her to move more easily and quickly. It will also allow her to stop her opponents receiving the ball.

3 To be able to improve her performance, she needs to practice jumping and catching the ball whilst it’s being passed over her head to the opposing team. She also needs to practice her overhead passes.

Any further comments on the course or the targets that you have set the performer.
