1 What equipment is used in Receiving? 1 mark
Model answer

Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed.

Explanation

The material and setup are essential because they define how the activity is carried out.

2 Describe the starting arrangement for Receiving. 2 marks
Model answer

Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.

Explanation

A clear starting arrangement helps every student understand where to begin and what equipment to use.

3 State the main action practised in Receiving. 2 marks
Model answer

Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.

Explanation

This identifies the central movement rather than an unrelated skill.

4 Explain how a student should carry out Receiving safely and effectively. 3 marks
Model answer

Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.

  • Begin from the stated arrangement: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Follow the key movement: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • Keep attention on this focus: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
Explanation

The answer combines the starting position, the movement and the point that controls successful performance.

5 What is the purpose of Receiving? 2 marks
Model answer

Control the ball and then try to dribble.

Explanation

The activity's rules and goal show what students are practising and how success is recognised.

6 Explain the rules or scoring used in Receiving. 3 marks
Model answer

Control the ball and then try to dribble.

  • Use the setup described for Receiving: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Complete the task as described: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
Explanation

Rules and scoring make the task clear and allow students to take turns fairly.

7 A classmate is unsure what to focus on during Receiving. What advice would you give? 3 marks
Model answer

Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.

  • Watch the movement or object carefully.
  • Keep the body balanced and follow the activity's stated steps.
  • Remember the main focus: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
Explanation

The advice links the book's specific focus with attentive, controlled practice.

8 How could the teacher vary Receiving while keeping it recognisably the same activity? 3 marks
Model answer

Practise with balls arriving at different speeds and directions.

  • Keep the main task and its purpose unchanged.
  • Use the suggested variation: Practise with balls arriving at different speeds and directions.
  • Explain the changed condition before students begin.
Explanation

The textbook suggests changing a feature such as equipment, distance, size or team arrangement while preserving the main skill.

9 Read the situation: a group is preparing to practise Receiving. Explain how they should set up, perform the task and recognise success. 4 marks
Model answer

The group should follow the activity's stated setup and carry out the central action. The goal is to perform the task with control and follow the rules.

  • Setup: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Action: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • Success or rule: Control the ball and then try to dribble.
  • Focus: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
Explanation

A complete answer covers the arrangement, movement, rule or goal, and the skill focus, which are the main parts of an activity plan.

10 Which detail is most important to remember when practising Receiving? 2 marks
Model answer

Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.

Explanation

The focus point helps the student concentrate on the movement detail emphasised in the instructions.

11 Explain one difficulty a learner may face in Receiving and how the instructions help address it. 3 marks
Model answer

A learner may find it difficult to coordinate the movement while keeping control of the object. The instructions help by giving a clear setup and action to follow.

  • Remember the starting position: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Practise the main movement: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • Concentrate on: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
Explanation

Breaking the activity into clear steps helps the learner practise one part at a time instead of guessing.

12 A teacher asks students to explain Receiving to a new classmate. Write a clear explanation including the setup, main action, goal and one useful practice tip. 4 marks
Model answer

Receiving is an activity in which students follow a particular arrangement and practise a defined movement. The task should be completed by following its rules and paying attention to the stated skill focus.

  • Setup: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Main action: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • Goal or scoring: Control the ball and then try to dribble.
  • Practice tip: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
Explanation

Explaining an activity well means describing not only the movement but also how it begins, what students are trying to do and what they should pay attention to.

13 Why is it useful to follow the stated rules in Receiving? 2 marks
Model answer

Following the rules makes the activity clear and helps students practise the intended movement fairly.

  • It tells players what action to perform.
  • It makes the goal or scoring clear.
Explanation

Rules prevent confusion and keep the activity focused on its intended task.

14 Compare the role of preparation and movement in Receiving. 3 marks
Model answer

Preparation gives students the correct position and equipment, while the movement is the action they practise. Both are needed for the activity to work as described.

  • Preparation: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Movement: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • The preparation makes the movement possible to perform in an organised way.
Explanation

The question checks whether students can distinguish the starting arrangement from the skill itself.

15 After observing Receiving, what would you tell a student who wants to improve? Give a practical, source-based plan. 4 marks
Model answer

The student should practise by following the stated arrangement, repeating the central movement carefully and checking the key focus point. Improvement should come from controlled practice rather than changing the activity's basic rules.

  • Start with the correct setup: Anticipate the ball’s direction and speed; approach and take position with the body balanced.
  • Repeat the main action: Raise the receiving leg while the other foot stays firmly on the ground; receive with the inside of the foot and move the leg slightly backwards on contact.
  • Check the focus point: Watching the ball’s path and maintaining balance.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Practise with balls arriving at different speeds and directions.
Explanation

A useful plan connects the source's setup, movement, focus and suggested variation instead of giving unrelated advice.
