PRACTICE

1. Move onto Skills Game – Hustle Back.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Flying V II. In this game, the objective is to hustle back on defense and attack the ball by hitting it out-of-bounds.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams – offense and defense, using flags to tell who you are.
• Three students from each team will go at a time.
• The offense will line up 15 feet in front of the defense and will start with the ball in the middle.
• When I say, “GO!” both the offense and defense will leave at the same time. The offense will try and score a goal before a defender can hit the ball out-of-bounds. 
• If the offense scores a goal, they get one point.
• If the defense hits the ball out-of-bounds, they get one point.
• You cannot check, shove or push another teammate.
• We will begin a new game when all students have had a turn. Offense and defense will switch roles.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • For increased difficulty, the offense must make three passes before scoring a goal.
  • Consider playing on a half-field, depending on student’s endurance and athletic ability.
• 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: 
  • Describe how to get back on defense after your team looses the ball?
  • Do you enjoy playing defense?
  • Why or why not?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Bull Dog Hockey. In this game, the objective is to steal the Wiffle Ball from the middle of the field and get back on defense to stop the other team from scoring in your goal. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on their baseline.
• Before the game begins, I will assign each student a number. Teams will have corresponding numbers.
• At the beginning of each round, I will call out one number.
• When your number is called, run to the center of the field, attack the ball, dribble to your opponent’s goal and try to make a shot on goal.
• You cannot push, shove or hit another student’s hockey stick when attacking the ball. 
• We will begin a new round when someone has scored a goal or the ball is hit out-of-bounds.

  • Divide teams equally based on athletic ability.
  • Before the game starts, clarify which goal each team is shooting at.
• 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.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing a Full Court Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to work with your team to get back on defense and stop the other team from scoring while scoring as many goals as possible.

• You cannot check, shove or push another teammate.
• If a ball goes out-of-bounds, the teacher will throw it in.
• Goalies are not allowed.
• 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, we will rotate teams.
