Objective: Set a bumped ball to a hitter

Volleyball Unit | Level 32

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

IMPORTANCE
Setting a bumped ball to a hitter is important because you are setting someone up to spike the ball on your opponent.

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

When setting a bumped ball to a hitter, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class 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 teammate. 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 Pac-Man Team. In this game, the objective is to set a bumped ball to a hitter and hit all the ghosts moving through the arcade.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select three Pac-Man team – server, bumper, hitter
•  The rest of you will be ghosts.
• Before the game begins, ghosts must line up single file along the end line.
• When I say, “GO!” the ghost furthest to the right will lead the others down a zigzag pattern moving closer to the net.
• Ghosts can only walk and cannot go out of the line.
• If the Pac-Man team serves a ball and hits a ghost, the ghost becomes a Pac-Man and joins the team as a setter.
•  We will begin a new game once all ghosts join the Pac-Man team.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • If serving is too difficult, have students move closer to the net.
  • As the number of Pac-Man team increases, make some bumpers and hitters.
• 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: 
  • What is one advantage that setting the ball gives your team?
  • Why is it so important to have proper form when setting the ball?

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

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, I will divide the class into three groups – setters, bumpers, hitters.
• When I say, “GO!”:
  • The setter will set the ball to the bumper
  • The bumper will bump the ball to the hitter
  • The hitter will hit the ball over the net
• The setter must bring the ball back to the hula-hoop.
• After your turn, proceed to the line to the left of you.
• We will begin a new game when everyone has had a turn setting, bumping and hitting from each group.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • 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.

  • Why is it so important to have proper form when setting the ball?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing a Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to set a bumped ball to a hitter and 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: 
  • What is one advantage that setting the ball gives your team?
  • Why is it so important to have proper form when setting the ball?
