TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to bump a tossed ball to the side to a partner.

IMPORTANCE
Bumping a tossed ball to the side to a partner is important because you will need to be able to receive the ball from different angles while playing a game.

VOCABULARY

6. Use your legs to provide power, not your arms.

PRACTICE

  1. I will divide students into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will go first. Spread out into the field and stand 3 – 5 feet away from your partner. When I say, "GO!" one teammate will toss the ball to the side and the other will bump back the ball. After you have made five bumps, switch roles.
  2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Swampy River III. In this game, your goal is to bump a ball tossed to the side to a teammate as many times as possible while the river grows larger and larger. 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • I will divide the class into two teams.
  • The students at the baseline will start with the ball first.
  • When I say, “GO!” the students with the ball will toss it to the side of their partner across the river.
  • If your ball falls into the river, quickly retrieve it before an alligator eats it.

  • The river will widen at the beginning of each game.
  • You must stay behind the river boundary when you are tossing and bumping.
  • See how many times you can successfully bump your ball over the river.
 

Game 1: Play as indicated above. Students have to make three complete bumps before widening the river.
Game 2: Students have to make five complete bumps before widening the river.
Game 3: Elimination round. If your ball drops in the swampy river, then an alligator has eaten it. You may practice tossing and bumping the ball with your partner somewhere in the field.
