⭐ LESSON PLAN 21: POLE DIVE - ADVANCED ATTACKING SKILL

Kho-Kho | Classes 6-10 | Duration: 45 Minutes | HIGH SKILL LEVEL

🎯 About Pole Dive - The Most Effective & Attractive Skill

Pole Dive is one of the most effective and attractive skills developed for Kho-Kho attackers. An attacker is prevented by rules from crossing the central lane to the opposite court. Therefore, defenders often take shelter in the opposite court. However, pole dive allows an attacker to score by touching a defender in the opposite court without illegally crossing the central lane.

The attacker firmly holds the pole in the elbow joint of the hand opposite to the defender's court, positions the toe of the leg on the pole's side near the pole (without touching or crossing the central lane), and throws the body into the space of the opposite court (dive), stretching the free hand to touch the defender with the palm. Courage, proper footwork, and great skill are essential for effective pole dive attempts.

Subject: Physical Education

Topic: Pole Dive Technique

Class: 6-10 (Advanced)

Period: September Week 3-4

📌 Understanding Defender's Position Near Pole:

Defender stands steady in the opposite court to that of attacker's, facing the attacker, standing behind the sitting chaser who is facing defender's court.
Defender's one palm rests against the pole, making it convenient to go round the pole quickly.
Defender's one toe rests behind the pole line while the other is in the opposite court - this gives free, easy access to courts without time delay.
This stance forces the defender to stand very near the pole, creating an opportunity for the pole dive attack.

🔑 POLE DIVE - KEY TECHNIQUE POINTS:

✅ Correct Technique:

Hold pole firmly in elbow joint of hand opposite to defender's court
Position toe of pole-side leg near the pole (not touching central lane)
Throw body (dive) into opposite court space
Extend free hand to touch defender with palm
Body dive increases reach significantly
Control speed based on skill level

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Crossing or touching the central lane (FOUL)
Using wrong hand for elbow grip
Attempting high-speed dive without proper skill
Not extending arm fully during dive
Poor landing technique causing injury
Diving without safety mats in practice

📊 POLE DIVE DIFFICULTY LEVELS:

🟢 BEGINNER

• Static position practice
• Walking approach
• Focus on technique
• Maximum safety support

🟡 INTERMEDIATE

• Jogging speed approach
• After receiving Kho
• Moving targets
• Moderate speed diving

🔴 ADVANCED

• High-speed running dive
• Real game situations
• Quick decision making
• Maximum reach + accuracy

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING:

Pole dive requires courage, proper footwork, and great skill
Never attempt high-speed pole dive without mastering basic technique
Always practice with safety mats and supervision
Positions of hold on pole and toe placement are subjective - find what works safely for you
