Footy Insight

The U12's have been challenged to download this diagram of a footy oval and fill in the missing information.

On the first oval we'd like to see each position assigned to a member of the team, for example putting Bailey in the ruck, Laura G. at full forward and Josh H. at full back. Each player should use their knowledge of their teammates to put them in the position that best suits their skills.

On the second oval each player should draw a line showing how the ball could move from a kick-in at full back to a goal, going coast-to-coast. At each position write a word that represents what the team or player at that position is doing, for example at half-back the team should be in a 'huddle', somewhere in the play there will be one or more 'switches' and players in the forward line should be 'moving' and 'spread out' as the ball comes in.

Download the document and have a look at it, it contains some example information and a list of player names and words you can use. There are no 100% right answers, players will not be marked and the information not shared within the player group. We're looking to see how the players are progressing in their football knowledge and how they perceive the team so we can identify focus areas.
