Chest Pass with a partner

6 minutes

Students will be in pairs that I choose for them. They will pass back and forth to one
another using the correct COTS provided in the lesson plan. The students will start
10 ft. apart but if needed, they may come closer for better accuracy and more practice
trails. As an extension students may take giant steps forward or backward if they
complete or miss a pass with their partner.

Students will remain in the same pairs that I had chosen in the beginning of the
lesson. They will pass back and forth to one another using the correct COTS provided
in the lesson plan. The students will start 10 ft. apart but if needed, they may come
closer for better accuracy and more practice trails. As an extension students may take

hoop as long as possible.

Students that are outside the hula hoops are in general space. Their objective is
to tag (gently) a student inside a hula-hoop while the student in the hula-hoop
is in possession of a ball.
If a student in general space tags a student in a hula hoop, the students switch
roles.
The student who was previously in the hoop must try to tag a student inside
another hula-hoop.
In order for students to stay in a hula hoop they must successfully pass the ball
to a student in another hula-hoop who is open (does not have a ball) before
being tagged.
If students make a bad pass (not capable of being caught by another student in
a hula hoop) the student in general space retrieves the ball and takes the place
of the student in the hula-hoop who threw the unreachable pass.
If the receiving student touches the pass but does not catch it, they may leave
their hoop, retrieve the ball and return to their hoop to resume the game.
