Objective: Bounce pass

Basketball Unit | Level 10

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to bounce pass.

IMPORTANCE
Bounce passing is important because it is used when there is a defender between you and your teammate. Using a bounce pass makes it harder for the defender to intercept the ball.

VOCABULARY
Bounce pass: moving the ball from one player to another by bouncing the ball.

When bounce passing, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide you into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the basketball first. Line up on the baseline with your ball between your feet and 3 – 5 feet between your teammate. When I say, “GO!” bounce pass your ball back and forth 10 times.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Quicksand III. In this game, we are caught in quicksand and in need of help! Your goal is to rescue the students stuck in quicksand (hula-hoop) by bounce passing a basketball to them.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select two students to stand in the middle island.
• I will select two students to be defenders.
• The rest of you will be stuck in one of the quicksand spots in the desert.   
• When I say, “GO!” the students in the middle will bounce pass the ball to any student stuck in the quicksand.    
• If you catch a ball, you are free and can join the middle island to help save others.
• You can only catch a ball while inside the quicksand.
• You cannot leave your quicksand area.
• If the ball is not caught, you must retrieve it.  
• You can only make a pass while in the middle island.
• We will begin a new game once everyone is freed from the quicksand.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • For larger classes, allow students to have one foot inside quicksand and one foot out.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
• Reflection:
  • What was the hardest part about learning to bounce pass?
  • What might you do to get better at bounce passing?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Alcatraz II. In this game, we are stuck on Alcatraz Island and need to get back to shore! Your goal is to help your team swim back to shore safely by bounce passing the buoy (basketball) to your teammate.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of four.
• Before the game begins, Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the ball first.
• The rest of you will go out in the ocean with your life raft (dot) set three feet away from each other.  
• When I say, “GO!” the first student will bounce pass the ball to the next student in line.
• Once you have bounce passed the ball, you must pick up your life raft and swim (run) to the end of your line.
• Do not spread out your life rafts too far because if a teammate misses the ball, your team must start back on Alcatraz.
• See how many bounce passes it takes you to get from Alcatraz to the shore.
• We will begin a new round once all teams have made it to the shore.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Demonstrate this game before playing to avoid any confusion.
  • Depending on your class size, you can start with everyone on the same team or two teams.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
• Reflection:
  • What was the hardest part about learning to bounce pass?
  • What might you do to get better at bounce passing?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Catch the Clementines III. In this game, you are monkeys trying to collect and store as many clementines (basketballs) as possible. Your goal is to bounce pass the clementines to the catchers without getting caught by the zookeeper.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select two zookeepers.
• I will select four catchers, in charge of catching the clementines and putting them into the tree houses (hula-hoops).
• The rest of you will be monkeys (runners).
• When I say, “GO!” the monkeys must:
  • Run to the forest
  • Grab a clementine
  • Run back and bounce pass the clementine to any catcher
• Once monkeys are inside the forest they are safe and cannot be tagged.
• If a monkey is tagged by a zookeeper, he/she must go back and get a high-five from a catcher to get back in the game. If a monkey is in possession of a clementine, he/she must return it.
• Monkeys must bounce pass the clementines outside of the boundary cones.
• Zookeepers cannot cross either side of the boundary cones.
• We will begin a new game when all the clementines are collected and new zookeepers and catchers are selected.
