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.
  • I will decide which team starts with the ball.
  • When I say, "GO!" the team with the ball will start first.  
  • 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 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.
 

Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Exit Ticket: In partners, students forehand shoot off the dribble before putting their equipment away.

 

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 teams cannot score unless each teammate received a pass.
  • 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: 
    • If you were teaching the forehand shot off the pass, what pointers would you give your students?
    • How do you think you could improve your forehand shot off the pass?
