In this film pupils learn to develop intercepting skills. See the warm-up 'The shadow game', the skill development 'Flight path' and the games in action before trying them out for yourself.

This simple, effective warm-up activity encourages movement, partner working and fun. The focus is on directional bursts of movement, observational skills and quick thinking, which prepares mind and body for the activities that follow.

In 'Flight path', pupils develop and practise quality interception skills. This simple activity provides a solid foundation, ahead of moving on to more tactical use of interception skills. The game is based on a ball in flight, but can be adapted to interceptions on the ground.

An exciting, fast-paced game for practicing interception skills. Whilst pairs of pupils aim to make as many successful passes as possible, the interceptors aim to steal the ball to earn points. 

The challenge in 'Treasure interceptors' is to pass the treasure safely across the interceptor zone – without the interceptors getting their hands on it! This game can be played by a full class in one activity area.

In this cool down, pupils can review their learning in pairs. They then work in larger groups to visually evaluate their progress on a learning pitch.

This is a quick and fun activity that will help develop your intercepting skills. You can play it on your own or with a friend.
