WEEK 31: GOLF/THROWING




3rd - 5th grades

A...Students will hit golf balls this week from the Williams Golf Range. 24 stations about 4 to 5 yards apart are set up to hit golf balls from, including a club, tee, hoop, and 20 balls at each area. Students are told rules of the range, safety precautions, and golf stroke cues which include (1) feet and hands ready!, (2) head and club down!, and (3) easy swing. Students retrieve balls at set times throughout the day.

B...Students will again hit golf balls in the same format. Emphasis will again be on safety and correct stroke form.


K - 2nd grades

A...Students will be starting a reveiw of throwing skills. Today students will play "Battleball" as played earlier in the year. The power throw will be emphasized on this day. We will end class with some "Parachute Games".

B...Students will focus more on the throwing form today as we take out the tennis balls for more throwing games for distance and accuracy.
