HEALTH- RELATED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: Dribble Take Away (10 minutes)
- Either half-court, full-court, or multiple courts are utilized according to class size.
- One-third of the class has a basketball.
- On your signal, students dribble with the dominant hand, moving within the court.
- The rest of the class tries to steal the ball away from other students.
- Students with basketballs try to protect by turning their bodies away from attackers and defending with the other hand.
- Students are not allowed to pick the basketball up at any time.
- Students who have their basketballs stolen must perform 5 repetitions of some exercise before rejoining the game.
ACTIVITY #1: Pig Skin Basketball
- Pairs form groups of 10 for a full-court 5-on-5 game.
- Object of game: to make as many baskets as possible using a football on a basketball court by only passing, catching, and shooting.
- Use Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who starts the game with control of the football.
- The game starts with a throw-in from the end line. The team in possession tries to pass and catch the football and advance toward their basket.
- Once a student catches a ball, he or she must stop and can only pivot, pass or shoot.
- Defender guards the passer but cannot knock the football out of the passer’s hands.
- All dropped footballs, bad throws or balls thrown out-of-bounds go to defending team. Free toss from that point.
- Principle of 3’s in effect:
- Passer has 3 seconds to throw football (3 alligators counted by the closest defender).
- Defenders must be 3 feet away from passer.
- After a score, other team takes the football out from end line.
- Play 4-minute games and have leading teams move up and teams behind move down.
- When students are close to the basket, they should try to do a lay-up with football.
