TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to cut against a defender to create open space.

IMPORTANCE

VOCABULARY

When cutting against a defender to create open space, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into groups of three. With your group, decide who be the handler, cutter, and defender. When I say, "GO!" the handler will throw a lead pass as the defender defends the cutter. Switch roles after each turn.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Half-Court Frisbee. In this game, the objective is to cut against a defender to create open space and help your team score as many points as possible. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Split your team evenly into offense and defense. Offense must stay in one half of the court and defense must stay in the other.
• I will decide who will start with the Frisbee first.
• If you have the Frisbee:
  • You can pass within 10 seconds to anyone on your team, except the student that passed to you.
  • You must keep one foot planted on the ground (pivot foot).
• The defensive team is trying to knock down or intercept the Frisbee, but must stand three feet away from the student that is passing.
• If the pass is incomplete (hits the ground) or goes out-of-bounds, the defensive team gets possession of the Frisbee where it landed (even if the defensive team hit it last).
• Once a team scores, the opposing team starts with the Frisbee the next round.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Increase the number of courts or substitutes, based on class size.    
  • To increase class participation, enforce a rule, in which teams can score after five passes.  
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • 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. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • Why is it important to be able to cut against a defender to create open space?
  • What do you think you could do to improve your ability to cut against a defender?
