Introduction:
Focus of the day: Types of Basketball passes
and Defensive positions.
Stop and Go Signals: Blow the whistle twice
to start and blow the whistle once to stop put
ball at feet and eyes on instructor speaking.
Safety: Only make a pass when teammate or
student is looking and keeping head and eyes
up at all times during activities and
competition.
Review: Where the pass is being delivered
from and aim point for pass. Defensive
position for most success of keeping
opponent in front of you.
Passing: There are two types of passes in
basketball we will go over today. The chest
pass and the bounce pass. Each pass is
important depending on the situation. Define
and go over when each pass should be used
for best outcome in game like situations.
Placement of hands should almost make a
diamond with fingers widely spread across
the outer part of the basketball. Pushing
thumbs out when releasing ball towards
target.
Defense: Always having knees slightly bent,
eyes on opponent's torso/waist, arms out
ready to deflect any passes. With that is
moving your feet side to side, creating a quick

Activity 2: Pass and Defense ActivityStudents will be in groups of three, one

person will be playing defense in the middle
and the other two will be passing the ball
back and forth. The person in the middle
objective is to get to the person with the ball
as fast as they can and get in a proper
defensive position. The person with the ball
should hold it for about two to three seconds
so the person in the middle has time to get
over. Teacher and student demonstrations
will occur.
