Activity Set-up and Procedure

Equipment:

• 1 lacrosse sticks per students
• 1 ball per student
• 4 cones
• Hand Placement Chart
• Lax Skill Cue Chart

Set-Up:

• Create a large activity area using cones
• Students scattered in the activity area, each with a lacrosse stick and a ball

Activity Procedures:

• Todays’s activity is called Yum Yum Yum. We are going to practice our lacrosse cradling skills while we identify healthy foods.
• The object of the activity is to jog in open space while cradling your lacrosse ball in order to keep the ball and your stick under control.
• I am going to call out different foods. When you hear a healthy (green Light) food, holler, “Yum, Yum, Yum!” and jog around the activity area while cradling your ball. When you hear and unhealthy (red light) food, carefully set your stick and ball on the ground, get into the plank position, and holler, “Whoa, time to slow down!” Hold plank position until you hear a healthy food, and then back up, jog, and cradle.
• If your ball drops out your stick, quickly pick it back up and continue jogging.
