Team Sports Basics

Read the game-day situations and show how good skills, communication and fair play help a team succeed. Choose answers carefully and explain your thinking where asked.

Game-day decisions

A mixed team is playing a small-sided football game. Everyone gets a turn, and the team wants to play safely and fairly.

1.Your team has the ball near the goal. Which action best helps the team create a scoring chance?

Dribble into a crowd without looking
Look up, then pass to a teammate in space
Kick the ball out of play
Keep the ball until a defender takes it

2.In football, most players may use their feet, head or chest to play the ball. Who may handle the ball, and where?

3.Your teammate is open and calls your name. Write one clear, positive phrase you could use to communicate during play.

4.A teammate has not received a pass yet. What is the best response?

Invite them into the next play and look for a safe passing chance
Tell them to stop trying
Pass only to your closest friend
Ignore them and keep playing alone

Teamwork and fair play

Good teams share responsibility: players communicate, respect rules and help each other recover from mistakes.

5.Tick the three actions that show teamwork.

Encourage a teammate after a mistake
Pass to a teammate in a better position
Listen when a teammate gives a helpful call
Blame one player whenever the team loses
Refuse to take turns

6.The score is close. An opponent trips while chasing the ball. What is a fair-play response?

7.Your team is losing and a player looks frustrated. Write a supportive sentence that encourages effort without blaming anyone.

8.True or false: A good teammate can disagree about a call while still speaking calmly and respecting the official.

9.In a passing drill, players pass in order: player 1 to player 2, then player 2 to player 3. Who should receive the next pass from player 3? Explain how taking turns helps everyone practise.

10.Create one simple rule for a small-sided team game that makes participation fair for everyone. Explain why it helps.
