TEACHING HINTS:

Use music segments (25 seconds) alternated with silence segments (30 seconds). When the music is playing, students jump rope; when silence occurs, students do a flexibility and strength development exercise.

Exercises can be done in two-count fashion. Exercises are done when the leader says “Ready.” The class answers “One-two” and performs a repetition.

Allow students to adjust the workload to their level. This implies resting if the rope jumping is too strenuous.

Push-ups are performed in the prone position.

Note: There are many different approaches to teaching golf. These lessons offer an outline of essentials that need to be presented. We encourage you to contact some of the organizations that are designed to introduce golf to students. Here are websites that may get you started:

The First Tee: Materials, curriculum, and instructional training are offered: https://firsttee.org/programs/. First Tee offers many training opportunities and also will help schools secure funding for program startups.

SNAG Golf: The acronym SNAG signifies Starting New At Golf. This is an innovative program with special equipment designed to teach golf in small spaces in the school setting. A key element of the program is that it offers many simple techniques and equipment that simplify the game: https://www.snaggolf.com

Pentabridge Hustle

Quickly get in groups of 5. 4 students make bridges that the others go under. As soon as the first student exits the last bridge they form a new one. Then the first “bridge” becomes the “hustler”. You can add locomotor challenges before creating a new bridge.

Discuss main elements of swings practiced during the class period.
In what position are push-ups performed?
In what year was the first recorded game of golf played?

Cheer: Give me a “G”; Give me an “O”; Give me an “L”; Give me an “F”; What does that spell? Golf! Yea!
