PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into partners and will give each pair two cones. Spread out into the field and place your two cones 3 – 5 feet apart. When I say, "GO!" take turns with your partner shooting between the cones using a backhand shot. You should be no more than five feet away from the goal when shooting. After three minutes we will stop.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing On Guard. Your goal is to backhand shoot while standing still into the goal while the guard is not looking.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams (guards and shooters) – using flags to tell who you are.
• Before the game begins, the guards will line up behind a goal located on the edge of the field.
• Shooters will begin in the center circle.
• When I say, "GO!" shooters will try and steal one ball at a time and backhand shoot it past a guard.
• The guards will try and block the shot.
• If a ball makes it past a guard, the guard must retrieve it and put it back in the center hula-coop.
• Shooters cannot shoot on the same guard twice. 
• After three minutes, guards and shooters will switch roles.

TEACHING TIPS

STORYLINE
Today we are playing a Half-Court Hockey. Your goal is to backhand shoot while standing still to increase your team's chances of scoring. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of five – using flags to tell who you are.
• Each team must split their teammates into offense and defense. Offense must remain on one half of the field and defense must remain on the other. You cannot cross the midline.

• When I say, "GO!" the team with the ball will start first.  
• You cannot check, shove or push another student.
• If a ball goes out-of-bounds, the teacher will throw it in.
• Goalies are not allowed and defending students must remain 3 – 5 feet away from their goal.
• If a goal is scored, the opposing team starts with the ball at the midline.
• After 10 minutes, will we rotate teams.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students there will be an unequal number of teammates on offense and defense. You must decide which side is more important to have more teammates on.
  • Increase the number of courts based on class size. There should be no more than five students per team.
  • If not all students are participating, enforce a rule stating that team cannot score unless each teammate has received a pass.
