Student Justifications: ​A 7 because I answer  Teacher Justifications: 

questions with explanation of why I chose that 
answer. I describe and applies physical and 
health education knowledge with terminology 
consistently to communicate my 
understanding. 
 

1) What is offensive and defensive role of ​Player D​ in 

this formation (include 2 things for each)? 
  

Offensive: 
Player D is a midfielder, in the offensive side play he will 
need to move to the attacking zone helping player E and F 
to score goal. He will be in charge of scoring in the middle 
lane of the goal. 
 
Player D will run up and down the attacking zone trying 
not to let the opposite side get the ball. 
 
 

Defensive: 
Player D is a midfielder, in the defensive side play he will 
need to move to the defending zone helping playing A, B 
and C to protect the goal. 
 
Player D will be running up and down half of the attacking 
zone to half of the defending zone because there is many 
defender so, he need to be helping the attacker get the ball to 
the attacking zone. 
 

(4 points)

2) Player A from the above formation plays as a Left 

Back. The diagram on the right shows how much 
time he spent in each section of the field during the 
match. Did Player A do a good job for his team in 
the match? Explain why giving at least two reasons. 
 

Player A did a bad job for his team because his position is 
left back but he spend most of his time in the right 
attacking/forward section. He spend the least time doing 
the position he is given.  
 
He does not know what he have to do in his position. He left 
his position to go help the attacker leaving the goal open 
giving the opponent team a higher chance to score. 

(3 Points) 
 3) Look at the picture of the team formations on the 
right. What is the formation (?-?-?-?) of each team? 
 

 
 
Red team: ​4-4-1-1 
 
 

 
 
Blue team: ​4-2-3-1 

(3 Points) 
 

4) Team “South Melbourne Hellas” have set up their team to 

play you above. Explain ​a​ weaknesses you can identify in 
their formation. 
 
A weaknesses in this formation is the defender because there is only 
one player defending having a risked that the defense is exposed, 
increases the chance of the opponent being able to score. 

5) Double click on the image on the right and move the 

circles to show a formation to think would give the best 
chance for success, then explain why. 
 
Formation that would give the best chance of success is 2-2-1 because 
there are two defenders which give a good stable defensive base and 
the midfielders are able to support the defense, while also having 
responsibility to join the attack. When the opponent tried to attack 
on the wing they will be blocked by the midfielder. In the opponent 
formation 1-3-1 they usually focus on attack which is why 2-2-1 
formation will be effective. When the opponent team are offending 
and we are defending, our midfielder join the defender blocking the 
opponent team from scoring.

 6) Watch the video clip. Can you describe 
how the RED team are creating their scoring 
opportunities. 
 
The RED team create their scoring opportunities 
by passing the ball across the field making the 
goaler confused. They mostly score on the side 
where the defender are not blocking or paying 
much attention to.

7) Watch the video clip. In the clip explain   
why is it so easy for the BLUE team to pass 
the ball out from the goalkeeper to the 
halfway line. 
 
It is easy for the BLUE team to pass the ball out 
from the goalkeeper to the halfway line because 
they are doing short quick passes.  
They passes to player who are free/open or player 
that does not have many opponent team player 
blocking.  
They do trick or fiend like pretending to pass left 
but actually pass right.

8) Explain what the RED team can do to stop this happening and make it harder for 
the goalkeeper to pass the ball out. 
The forward move to block the opponent defender from getting the passes by the opponent 
goaler. More player need to be blocking the opponent player from receiving passes, play 1 on 1 
blocking the opponent to pass. 
(6 Points) 

9) Your team is winning 1-0, using the formation on the right. With 5 minutes left one 
of your players, Namyen, gets sent off. You now only have 4 players and your 
goalkeeper.  
 
  
 
 
 

Click on the diagram above and show me how you will change your formation. 
Explain why you made the changes. 
 
 
We will play the position 3-1 because we are leading in scores so, we should focus on defending 
more not letting the opponent opportunity to score. We focus on defending but if we have 
chance then, we’ll counter attack by having one or both of the wing-back defenders exploding 
forward to join the attacks. In the offensive play the forward wing-back defenders will help the 
forward to score as much as possible in case the opponent scored.
