2nd - 5th grades
A...Students will stretch and do a short run then gather in their line groups to write in their line journal. They will be asked a question about fitness testing and must come up with the best answers among their group members. Students will practice the football throw in groups of three. They will model the football throw from the baseball throw learned a few weeks ago and just add some nifty hand movement to create a "spiral" then pay "Three Man Football" with a quarterback, receiver, and defender. Next, Students will put their footballs away and wear a flag belt in groups of two next. They will play "One on One Flag Tag" to learn quickness and speed. Students will see and feel the importance of keeping low to the ground, bending the knees, and spreading feet apart to be quick.
B...Students will begin class with stretching and a run then group in threes. Students will play "Three Man Football" then get into relay race form, groups of 3 to 4. Students will pass to a teammate in a hula hoop about 10 feet away and on a catch, move back 3 feet. Every catch students move hula hoop back 3 feet, with periodic switches of the catcher in the hoop. Next game will feature students on court playing "No Elimination Flag Tag" where all students have a flag on and try to pull off anyone elses flag. If the flag comes off, student must stop and put it back on before resuming play. At the end of class students get a form with their pre-fitness test scores.
K - 1st grades
A...Students will do a short run and all get a tennis ball. "Tossing" will be reviewed and compared to the throw. Students will practice tossing the ball low and catching, high a catching, high twist and catch, high clap and catch, high and hit a roof cross bar, high and bang the roof, and into the basketball goal. Students will partner up and practice tossing with a partner close range. Emphasis on control, easy throw that can be caught. Partners then use two balls and try to toss at the same time and catch. Challenge to see how many in a row can be caught.
B...Students will get into 112 groups of 3 or 4. They will do relay style tossing into a basket. Comparisons between the throw and the toss. Students will then have a free toss while we get the balls lieing on the court and into the open baskets. Students will line up again and have a challenge to see whose team can toss the most balls in the basket.
