Mature movement patterns and skill combinations
Aligned to SHAPE 1 — SHAPE America National Standards.
What this lesson teaches
As you grow, your basic skills become smoother and you start combining them, like dribbling a ball while you run or catching and then throwing in one motion. Good technique, like stepping toward your target when you throw, makes your movements stronger and more accurate. The more you practice, the more natural it feels.
Worked example
Try an overhand throw at a target: step forward with the opposite foot from your throwing arm, point at the target, and follow through. Then dribble a ball while walking to a wall and back.
Practice questions
- Throw overhand stepping with the opposite foot.
- Dribble a ball while walking 10 steps.
- Why does stepping toward your target help?

Patrones de movimiento maduros y combinaciones de habilidades
A medida que creces, tus habilidades básicas se vuelven más fluidas y comienzas a combinarlas, como rebotar un balón mientras corres o atrapar y lanzar en un solo movimiento. Una buena técnica, como dar un paso hacia tu objetivo al lanzar, hace tus movimientos más fuertes y precisos. Cuanto más practicas, más natural se siente.
Ejemplo: Intenta un lanzamiento por arriba hacia un objetivo: da un paso hacia adelante con el pie contrario al brazo con que lanzas, apunta al objetivo y termina el movimiento. Luego rebota un balón mientras caminas hacia una pared y regresas.
