Objective: Use angles to get closer to an offensive player

Running Unit | Level 30

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to use angles to get closer to an offensive player.

IMPORTANCE
Using angles to get closer to an offensive player it allows you to reach your opponent faster and more effectively.

VOCABULARY
Offense: a team that is taking action to score points or goals.

When using angles to get closer to an offensive player, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two to practice this technique.  The offenders will line up on the baseline and the defenders will line up on the end line. One at a time, the offenders will try and make it to the end line before being tagged by the defender.  The defender will try to prevent the offender by using angles to reduce open space. 
2. Offenders and defenders switch roles.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Sharks and Minnows III. In this game, the objective is to use angles to get closer to the minnows and tag them before they reach the end line.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one student to be the shark (tagger). The shark must start in the middle of the field.
• When I say, “GO!” the minnows have to get to the end line without being tagged by the shark.
• If you are tagged or go out-of-bounds, you become a shark.
• If you make it to the end line without being tagged, you are safe.
• We will begin a new round when all the minnows get to the end line or get tagged by the shark.
• We will start a new game when there is one minnow remaining.
  

TEACHING TIPS

• 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 use angles when trying to get closer to an offensive player?
  • Did you find it difficult to move where your opponent was going?
  • Why or why not?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Squirrels and Acorns. In this game, the objective is to use angles to get closer to the squirrels and  stop them from gathering all the acorns.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into four teams. Each team must line up behind one short cone.
• I will select two students to be the cats (using flags to tell who they are). The cats must start in the middle of the field.
• When I say, “GO!” the person in the front of each line will run into the field, take an acorn from one of the hula-hoops, return it to their hula-hoop and high-five the next person on their team without being tagged by a cat.
• If you get tagged, you must return the acorn to its hoop and go back to your team empty-handed.
• You can only grab one acorn at a time.
• You cannot throw an acorn. You must place it in your hula-hoop.
• We will begin a new round after two minutes or when all acorns have been gathered.

  • Start with two capable defenders to challenge the rest of the students.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Treasure Stash III. In this game, your objective, as the Navy, is to use angles to get closer to the pirates before they bring all the treasure back to their ship.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into four pirate teams.
• I will select two students to be the Navy. The Navy must start in the middle of the field.
• When I say, “GO!” one pirate from your team will run into the field, take a piece of treasure, return it to your pirate ship and high-five the next student.
• You may only carry one piece of treasure at a time and cannot pass or throw it to a teammate.
• The islands (hula-hoops) are where you may stash your treasure. If you stash your treasure on an island, you must leave it behind and return to your pirate ship.
• If you get tagged by the Navy, you must return the piece of treasure and go back to your team empty-handed.
• We will begin a new round after all the treasure has been stashed or a new Navy has been selected.
