PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Stand five feet away from each other parallel to the baseline. When I say, "GO!" jog from the baseline to the end line, while passing the ball to one another. If you miss the catch, quickly recover the ball and keep going.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Pass Off. Your goal is to pass to a moving student to avoid being tagged.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select three taggers. Taggers will wear flags to tell who they are.
• I will select three people to start off with a basketball.
• Before the game begins, spread out onto the court.
• When I say, “GO!” taggers will try and tag any student that has a basketball.
• Taggers can only tag students that have basketballs.
• If you have a basketball, you have 30 seconds to pass it to any other student on the court.
• If you are tagged or make an incomplete pass, you must switch places with the tagger.
• If the ball is passed to you, you must catch it. You cannot intentionally miss a pass.
• There are no “tag-backs”.
• You cannot tag anyone unless you are wearing the flag.

• There will be three teams at a time in each section of the court. Each team is against one another.
• Before the game begins, Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start with the ball first.

• The other teams will try to gain possession of the ball by deflecting or stealing.
• You must stand an arm’s length away when defending.
• You cannot stay standing with the ball for longer than 20 seconds.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ultimate Basketball. Your goal is to pass to a moving teammate to move the ball down the court and score in your opponent's basket.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams (using flags) and will select one team to begin with the ball at their end of the court.
• If you have the ball:
  • You can pass the ball to anyone on your team, except the person that passed it to you.
  • You must keep one foot planted on the ground (pivot foot).
• If you do not have the ball, you can move around the court to get open or play defense.
• The defensive team is trying to knock down or intercept the ball, but must stand three feet away from the student that is passing the ball.
• If the pass is incomplete (hits the ground) or goes out-of-bounds, the defensive team gets possession of the ball where it landed (even if the defensive team hit it last).
• We will begin a new round when one team scores.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach
  • If students are not involving everyone on their team, consider a variation where everyone on a team needs to touch the ball before scoring.
• ELL Accommodations
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
