Physical Education Instructional Plan
Time Task & Skill Progression
5 min Review of day one and double bounce rule
When students first come in teachers will review
with the students the grips they used in the
different types of strikes with paddles. Then explain
the double bounce rule when playing competitive
games along with how to serve
10 minute Rally warm up with partners
Students in groups of two will warm up rallying with
another team purposely serving to each other easy and
on their forehand side
After 3.5 minutes of this students will switch to trying
to hit with their back hand only
3 minutes will be spent on serving as well
students will have to hit the ball diagonally into the
opposing team's square, this will be marked with poly
spots
Cues/Critical Elements Organization of Students/Space
Handshake grip (forehand)
In lines / middle of gym
Thumb higher (backhand)
Ball must bounce twice before
students can rally during games
When serving - students must stand
behind the white lines and hit the ball
diagonally to the correct square on
the opposite side of the court.
(Teachers will demo)
When hitting to opponents forehand Students will be positioned in teams
students will have to invision on serving of 2 (4 per court) with nets . each with
the ball to their opponents dominant hand a paddle and a ball
When hitting to opponent's backhand
students will have to hit the ball to their
opponents non dominant hand
When striking with forehand hit the ball at
knee height and open up hips
when hitting backhand keep thumb higher
than on forehand and turn so dominant
hand is in front.
 When serving keep the ball in front of you
Serve underhand and stay behind the
white lines

(King of the court)!! winners of each game go, and where the 2 per group
students will all play continuous games of pickleball the losing team goes (Stays at court) 4 paddles per court
winners of each game moving to the left and the losers 1 ball per court
staying on the same court. The furthest court away will
be the championship court.
All rules will be in play during these games including
double bounce rule/ kitchen play/ serving and rally
scoring. Bryce and I will walk around “officiating” each
game and offering feedback to students
4 minute Overall review Teachers should demonstrate clearly and Students will put their paddles/balls
(40 total) in this time bryce and I will tell students what they did provide easy to understand cues up and will be in their squad lines or
really well what they could work on and finish with (Watch for glazed eyes) standing in a group
what they did really well along with providing
demonstrations to help all students
