thrown at another student unless it involves a
student throwing an object for the intended
purpose of catching it. Physical injuries,
bullying, or any misbehavior will be reported to
the person in charge on campus.

Lesson Specifics

with equipment when told not to, talking when
shouldnt be talking, touching others, and
calling others inappropriate names are all
examples of behaviors that arent tolerated.

basketball court (sidelines). Polyspots * Diagram below
are placed on the ground every
court (first free throw line, half
court, and second free throw line).
When students approach a polyspot,
they are to crossover dribble (switch
hands). When they reach the other
side, they must touch the line and
and run back toward the starting
point, again switching hands at each
polyspot. Students are to sit down
when they have gone.

Set Induction:
Yesterday you worked on dribbling
the basketball. Today we will work on
passing. There are three main types
of passes in basketball? Who knows
what they are? Chest pass, bounce
pass, and overhead pass. Chest pass
cues: athletic stance, fingertips,
step, extend, follow through. Bounce
pass: same as chest pass but ball
bounces 2/3 way toward target.
Overhead pass cues: athletic stance,
overhead, extend, follow through.

Start/Stop Signals:
Go to start
Freeze to put
equipment down
and stop what
theyre doing

CA Standard I-V and NASPE

Standards I-V because
students are learning about
gameplay tactics.

Grouping
Strategies:
I will number the
students by 3s to
get into groups.

Purpose:
Basketball is one of the most popular
playground sports. Basketball helps
with balance, coordination, and
other motor abilities that can
develop skills in other games or
activities.
1 min.

Transition
Students will return to homebase, sit
down, and wait for further
instructions.

Lesson Core - Task 1:

Diagram Task 1
Basketball passing: Students will find * Diagram below
a partner or be assigned one. One
student will be on the homebase line
and the other student will be
standing about 10 feet away. I will
demonstrate each pass to a student
at the center of the line so all
students can watch. Students will be
spaced apart appropriately. Students
standing on homebase will get a
basketball from me, return to their
spot, and place the ball on the
ground next to them until I say to
start. The students will perform the
passes in this order: chest pass,
bounce pass, and overhead pass.
Appropriate practice time will be
allowed for each pass. Between each
pass, I will tell students to freeze and
place the ball down. I will let them
know to move on to the next type of
pass.
Demonstration Plan:
I will demonstrate one pass at a time.
I will have 2 student demonstrations
for each pass to ensure quality of
each pass.
Questions to Check Understanding
Which pass touches the ground?
Bounce pass.
Which part of the hand is used to
pass a ball? Fingertips.
Adaptations
Regression: Student steps forward
closer to partner.
