Learning Outcome 

To reinforce Movement Concepts/Space Awareness/Levels

Activity Description

Dribble with hands
Eyes up
Use your fingerpads–not your fingertips
Keep the ball at your side for control
Keep the ball at waist level or lower
Keep the ball in your “foot pocket” which is done by dropping the right foot behind your left foot (right-handers). This will help control the ball and protect it from defenders
Dribble with feet
Push the ball forward gently with the inside or the outside of the foot. Alternate feet.
As you travel, keep the ball closer than your fingertips when your arm is extended.
Use peripheral vision to look at the ball as you look where you are traveling.
As you travel, match your speed to your skill. Allow students to self-monitor speed based on their ability to keep the ball close.
Underhand Throw
Face your target
Step with your opposite foot towards the target (i.e., if throwing with the right hand, a step towards the target with your left foot)
Use a pendulum arm motion with the arm you are throwing with (i.e., like you are bowling)
Follow through to the sky or ceiling with the hand you are throwing with
