Activity:
Students will have a seat on their assigned
number to count for attendance.
Students will then perform a series of static
stretches including
1. Hamstring stretch- Sit on the ground with
your legs extended. Lean forward and try to
grab your feet to feel the stretch. Hold for
20 seconds.
Bicep stretch- Interlock your fingers and put
them behind your back. With locked
elbows, slowly lift your hands away from
your body to feel the stretch. Hold for 20
seconds.
Tricep stretch- Raise one arm and put it

Calve stretch- Stagger your legs and but
one forward and step back with the other.
Press your back heel towards the floor and
lean forward to feel the stretch. Hold for 20
seconds and switch legs.
Students will then take 2 laps around the
blacktop to warm up their muscles.

Purpose/Rationale: Warm-up is an
important component of any physical activity
 and helps prepare the students with
coordination and movements. Static
stretching is important to do before physical
activity to warm-up your muscles and
prevent injury. Stretching can help increase
range of motion and flexibility. When
students increase their range of motion it
can increase their movement during
physical activity.

Transition Time Students will walk to black top and sit under
(3 minute) the shaded area for instructions. “Before we start
bumping today, I am
going to go over the
5 most important
things to note when
practicing proper

Purpose/ Rationale
It is important to have the correct platform
and technique when bumping a volleyball.
Passing is one of the most important
components in volleyball as it sets up the
 play. When students understand the correct
platform and passing technique, it can
enhance and improve their ball control and
level of play. Once students learn how to
bump the volleyball, they can start to
advance to other skills in volleyball such as
setting, spiking, and blocking.

Transition Time Instruct students to pair up and pass the ball “Once you and your
(4 minutes) back and forth 10 times. partner show me the
correct platform, you
can get a volleyball
and begin passing.”

give your team the best chance to attack the
ball. Therefore, practicing bumping with a
partner will give students lots of opportunity
to get touches on the ball and practice

teammates in volleyball. During this activity
students will encourage each other and
communicate with each other the direction
of the ball as well as who is contacting the
ball.
