Physical Education Lesson Plan Ball Pass By: Ashley Jordan & Brittany Sloan

National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) Content Standards Students demonstrate understanding of movement concepts, principles, strategies, and tactics as they apply to the learning and performance of physical activities.

GRADE 2 ACADEMIC STANDARDS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION Standard 1 Motor Skills and Movement Patterns: Students demonstrate competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities. Students learn to utilize cognitive information to achieve mature (proficient) fundamental motor skills. Knowledge and application of movement concepts (body, spatial, directional, and temporal awareness), relationships, and strategies enhance independent learning and effective participation in physical activity. 2.2.3 Identify and apply the basic elements for efficient locomotor, nonlocomotor, stability, and manipulative skills.

Lesson Objectives Grade Level K-2 Activity can be done in classroom, but would probably work best outside or in gym Equipment Needed: Basketball (possibly smaller, softer ball) Students will make a chest pass with a basketball Warm-up activity will take 5 minutes Lesson Activity will take 15-20 minutes Closing Activity will take 5 minutes

MEASURABLE AND OBSERVABLE OBJECTIVES Students will be able to improve their proficiency in the skill of basketball passing. Students will be able to perform passing skills using the proper cues of the chest pass.

GOALS Demonstrate competency in many movement forms and proficiency in a few movement forms Demonstrate responsible personal and social behavior in physical activity settings

WARM-UP ACTIVITY Passing Relay: Set up two lines. Set up students in designated spots in each line. Students will then pass the ball on down the line starting at one end of the gym to the other end of the gym. When the last person gets the pass, he/she will dribble to the front of the line. Then students will rotate to the next spot in line. The race ends when the person at the front of the line is at the end of the line. Discuss safety rules before beginning the relay (eye contact before passing, receivers give targets, and pass at a safe speed).

PROCEDURE Begin by discussing and demonstrating the cues of the chest pass. Chest Pass Cues (bend, extend, release): Square body. Thumbs against chest -- elbows bent and out. Step toward the target. Extend arms -- fully release ball to target. Thumbs should now be pointed down.

CLOSING ACTIVITY At the end of class, review by asking the following questions: Where should your thumbs be pointing after a chest pass? (downward) Before you pass, what should you make sure your partner is doing? (eye contact; targets)

BALL PASS RUBRIC HUSKERS SOONERS LONGHORNS JAYHAWKS TRUNK LEAN No trunk lean Minimal to exaggerated trunk lean Slight forward lean Powerful forward lean FINGER PLACEMENT Fingers on bottom and/or top of ball Fingers directly behind ball Fingers on side of ball and slightly behind the ball Fingers in relaxed correct position on ball STEP No step Minimal step forward Full-stride step forward Step forward in direction of throw ARMS—CHEST Arms have little to no extension Arms partially extended after ball is released Arms extended toward target after releasing ball Arms fully extended with added wrist action Kovar, S. K., Combs, C. A., Campbell, K., Napper-Owen, G., & Worrell, V. J. , 2012.

ACCOMODATIONS/SUCCESS FOR ALL Students could pass the ball from a sitting position Students could use a smaller, softer ball Students could stand still instead of stepping out with pass Students could work on other passes (e.g. overhead pass or bounce pass)
