ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Set a bumped ball

Volleyball Unit | Level 28

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to set a bumped ball.

IMPORTANCE
Setting a bumped ball is important because it is a different form of receiving the ball and allows you to pass to another teammate.

VOCABULARY
Set: a passing move in volleyball using fingers (typically the second touch after the ball comes over).

When setting a bumped ball, it is important to:

PRACTICE

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

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Ameba III. In this game, the objective is to set a bumped ball and have it land on the ameba.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select three amebas.
• The amebas will start on one side of the net and lay down on their stomachs. 
• Everyone else will stand on the opposing side of the net in teams of two.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which teammate will bump first.
• When I say, “GO!” bump the ball to your teammate.
• After the ball is bumped, then set the ball over the net – trying to hit the ameba. 
• If your ball hits the ameba, both teammates go over to the other side and connect to it by holding hands or linking arms.
• If your ball does not hit the ameba, retrieve your ball and try again.
• The ameba must remain laying on the ground, but can move their arms and legs.
• We will begin a new game when everyone is part of the ameba.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If bumping and setting is too difficult, allow students to toss and set.
• 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 setting the ball so important?
  • What did you find most challenging about setting a ball bumped to you?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Triple Pass III. In this game, the objective is to set a bumped ball over the net.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, I will divide you into three groups.
• When I say, “GO!” I will bump the ball to you and you must try to set the ball over the net.  
• If the ball goes over the net or not, bring it back to the middle hula-hoop and move to the back of the line to the left of you.
• We will begin a new game when everyone has had a turn setting from each group.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students to use proper setting technique.  
  • Have students move closer to the net if they are having trouble hitting the ball over.
• 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 setting the ball so important?
  • What did you find most challenging about setting a ball bumped to you?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing a Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to set a bumped ball to help your team score the most points.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.  
• You are not allowed to touch the net.
• Once the ball is served over the net, each team gets to hit the ball up to three times only.
• The same student cannot hit the ball twice in a row.
• Servers rotate in a clockwise position.
• The ball cannot be “carried” or “lifted”.
• If the ball is served and goes outside the boundary lines, it is the other team’s point. If the ball touches the line, it is considered “in” bounds.
• We will keep rally scoring – a point is awarded on every serve.
• After each game we will switch sides.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Depending on class size, use discretion as to how many students are allowed on the court at a time. You can play multiple games (competitive and non-competitive) simultaneously, or have students substitute in and out of the game.
  • Make the court smaller based on students’ athletic ability.
  • Allow a one bounce rule if volleying the ball is too difficult.
• 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 setting the ball so important?
  • What did you find most challenging about setting a ball bumped to you?
