Week #1: Basketball Lesson Plan 3 - Wednesday

EQUIPMENT:

Music for Aerobic Workout
1 basketball per student

OUTCOMES:

The student will:

Participate in Over, Under and Around demonstrating agility and cooperative skills during the Introductory phase of class.
Participate in the Aerobic Workout to improve agility, flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular endurance.
Demonstrate dribbling and passing skills using form demonstrated by the instructor during the Lesson Focus of class.
Participate in One Goal Basketball demonstrating cooperative and agility skills during the game portion of class.

NATIONAL STANDARDS: 1-5

Over, Under and Around

INSTRUCTIONS:

Students find a partner. One person gets in position on all fours or in bridge position, and the other stands alongside, ready to begin the movement challenge. The challenge is given to move over, go under, and run around the partner a certain number of times. For example, one partner moves over the other 5 times, goes under 8 times, and runs around 10 times. When the task is completed, partners change positions and repeat the challenge. To increase motivation, the challenge can be made to move over, under, and around different students. For a more difficult challenge, the students move on all fours slowly throughout the area.

TEACHING HINTS:

Depending on class, start by going over and around. If more challenge is needed, add going under a partner.

Use toe-to-toe to quickly find a partner. Change partners often.

Dribbling Drills

INSTRUCTIONS:

Random Dribbling

Each student has a ball. Dribbling is done in place, varied by using left and right hands. Develop a sequence of body positions (i.e., standing, kneeling, lying on the side, on two feet and one hand). Dribble with each hand.

One-Hand Control Drill

Begin with the right hand holding the ball. Make a half circle around the right leg to the back. Bounce the ball between the legs (back to front) and catch it with the right hand and move it around the body again. Change hands.

Obstacle, or Figure-Eight, Dribbling

For obstacle, or figure-eight, dribbling, three or more obstacles are positioned about 5 feet apart. The first player at the head of each file dribbles in and around each obstacle, changing hands so that the hand opposite the obstacle is the one always used.

Review Passing Skills

Slide Circle Drill

In the slide circle drill, a circle of four to six players slides around a person in the center. The center person passes to and receives from the sliding players. After the ball has gone around the circle twice, another player takes the center position.

Circle-Star Drill

With only five players, a circle-star drill is particularly effective. Players pass to every other player, and the path of the ball forms a star. The star drill works well as a relay. Any odd number of players will cause the ball to go to all participants, assuring that all receive equal practice.

TEACHING HINTS:

Practice the skills in an individual manner as much as possible. The best alternative is a ball for every student to shoot and dribble. Reduce taking turns as much as possible when practicing skills.

Instructional cues for dribbling include the following:

Push the ball to the floor. Don’t slap it.
Push the ball forward when moving.
Eyes forward and head up.

Instructional cues help students focus on proper performance of passing.

Fingers spread with thumbs behind the ball.
Step forward, extend arms, and rotate hands slightly inward.
Throw at chest level to the receiver.
For bounce passes, bounce the ball past the halfway point nearer the receiver.

One-Goal Basketball

INSTRUCTIONS:

Supplies: A junior basketball, pinnies (optional)

Skills: All basketball skills

This is an excellent class activity if four or more baskets are available. The game is played by two teams according to the rules of basketball but with the following exceptions.

When a defensive player recovers the ball, either from the backboard or on an interception, the ball must be taken out beyond the foul-line circle before offensive play is started and an attempt at a goal is made.
After a basket is made, the ball is taken in the same fashion away from the basket to the center of the floor, where the other team starts offensive play.
Regular free throw shooting can be observed after a foul, or some use can be made of the rule whereby the offended team takes the ball out-of-bounds.
An offensive player who is tied up in a jump ball loses the ball to the other team.
Individuals are responsible for calling fouls on themselves
