Striking and Fielding
The Play practice approach brings a new creative way to play striking and fielding game. On a personal thought, I have always found that striking and fielding were boring. However, with the Play practice approach, the game is shaped differently and is way more attractive. Moreover, more players are involved and they can learn through specific games exercises. On a tactical mind, the striking and fielding games don’t differ from the real and the Play practice approach.
First, as the game is played with 2 teams, there is a defensive and an offensive strategy. Here, I will explain the defensive strategy. The defensive strategy should always be taught before the offensive strategy in order to allow the defensive teams a chance on the field. This is the defensive strategy: 1) Cover as much space as possible in the playing field and as efficiently as possible. In other words, this means that if the defensive team covers well the playing area, there will be less opportunity for the offensive team to score points. This is all about experiencing the game and learning through it. For instance, the player who covers the first base can take a few steps beside the base and cover more space. At the same time, his team wins in defensive strategy and covers more space as the first base player is doing 2 jobs: covering space and protecting first base. Then, the efficiency is defined by the communication between the players as well as their ability to move and adapt themselves to the play.
Second, here is the offensive tactic: 2) Hit the object in a sense that you have enough time to reach a goal and where your opponent can’t reach it. The goal of the offensive strategy is to hit the ball at the right place and the right time which will procure you enough time to reach the first base for example in baseball. You can also hit the ball where no opponent player will be able to catch the ball. This normally means out of boundaries and is qualified by the noun home run. Offensive strategy is normally taught after defensive strategy in order to allow the defensive team a chance to react and apply the right decision. The ultimate goal of the offensive strategy is to score more point than the other team.
To conclude, striking and fielding are great games in which kids can really learn effectively if taught with the Play practice approach. Still remember to teach defensive before offensive and use the following tactics: 1) Cover as much space as possible in the playing field and as efficiently as possible. 2) Hit the object in a sense that you have enough time to reach a goal and where your opponent can’t reach it.
