LEARNING OUTCOME
Catches a self-tossed or well thrown large ball with hands, not trapping or cradling against the body
STUDENT TARGETS
Skill: I will pass the ball to the wall target using a force that is safe for everyone.
Cognitive: I will describe a strong pass and a light pass during class discussion.
Fitness: I will actively engage in class to collect as many activity minutes as I can.
Personal & Social Responsibility: I will follow teacher directions for safe participation and proper use of equipment.
TEACHING CUES
- Thumbs Behind Ball, Fingers Spread, Step to Target, Push with 2 Hands
- Eyes on the Ball, Fingers Apart, Catch with Hands
ACTIVITY SET-UP & PROCEDURE
EQUIPMENT:
- 1 basketball per student
- 1 target card per student
SET-UP:
- Tape target cards to the wall at the same height as the students’ shoulders.
- Each student with a ball, standing approximately
- 5 feet away from a target.
ACTIVITY PROCEDURES:
- It’s time to work on our passing and catching with a Wall Passing game. When I say, “GO!” you’re going to pass the ball and hit the target. The ball is going to bounce back quickly, so be ready.
- Let the ball bounce 1 time on the floor and then catch it with your hands.
- In order to stay safe, make sure you’re far enough away from the wall so that the ball can bounce in between you and the target. Keep practicing until you hear the stop signal.
