Grade 4 - 6
Today students continued engaging in cooperative games. Students completed a group warm up and stretch before playing a game of Bench Ball. The description of the game and pictures follow:
Description:
•
Students are split into 2 even teams.
•
Split the
playing area into two even sides (the centre line in the gym works perfectly).
•
Send one player
from team X across the center line to stand up on the bench on team O’s side.
•
Send one player
from team O across the center line to stand up on the
bench on team X’s side.
•
The object of
the game is to get everyone from your team onto the bench on the other side of
the center line.
•
The only way you
are allowed to cross the center line and climb onto the bench on the other side
is to have someone from your team, who is already on
the other bench, catch the ball that you throw. They can not pick the
ball up from the ground, but must catch it in the air.
•
If they catch
your ball, then you cross over and join them on the bench.
•
Except for the two people who started on the bench, if anyone ever falls
off the bench, they must return to their own side and have someone catch their
ball again before they can rejoin their teammates on the bench.
•
You are allowed
to block the catchers on the bench by throwing balls
at incoming balls, or by simply holding balls in you hands and whacking
incoming balls away.You may also assign a guard to knock balls out of the air.
•
You are not
allowed body contact, and are not allowed to jump on, or away from, a bench to
catch a ball.
•
The first team
to successfully get all of their members standing on
the bench is the winner.
Students continued to learn proper forearm/bumping techniques.Students were also introduced ti small mini games that allow to more effective underhand serve development.
Grade 8
Students continued to learn to dribble the ball with their dominant and non-dominant hand while keeping their head up through various ball handling/control activities.Students were introduced to ball protection activities where they needed to adjust positioning in order to be effective.
