WEEK 11: REAL VOLLEYBALL ACTION

This will mark the third and final week of Volleyball for our 3rd through 5th grade students. We will continue to practice our basic skills through partner work. The bump and set will be broken down into basic easy parts and students will be challenged to work with their partner to keep the ball up. Emphasis will be put on the height of the shot! Students will again be placed on a team and then begin real volleyball. Truthfully this is not real volleyball but it is closer! All volleyball rules are the same except you can hit the ball as many times as you like on your side to get that ball over the net.

Kindergarten through 2nd grades will be continuing scooter games. They will again go over the safety rules for scooter use and do a little free scooting. The court will be set up by placing treasure boxes (cones) in a wide 25 yard diameter circle. Students will take their scooter to a treasure box and prepare to play "Treasure Hunt". On the signal students will sail their scooter into the middle of the ocean and can grab one piece of treasure from the middle are, which has been littered with hundreds of assorted little treasures. Students must work quickly to grab a piece of treasure, bring it back to their treasure box and then sail back in for more. Some treasures will be assigned a different value to improve higher counting skills upon game completion.
