When I say go, please pick up a balloon from the basket and carry it to your self-space. Volley the ball into the air to yourself and then catch it. Keep volleying to yourself and catching the balloon after each volley. Ready? Go! Transition: (After 2-3 minutes) Everyone, freeze! Please catch your balloon and carry it with you. Have a seat in a circle in front of me. (Wait for students to form a seated circle). Set Induction: Please place your balloon in your lap for now. Did anyone get a chance to watch the Olympics this summer? Did anyone watch the volleyball games? Great! Misty Mae and Kerri were awesome, weren t they? Today we are going to work on our volleying skills so we can play like they do! To start, we are going to get used to the feeling of hitting something into the air. To do this, we are going to stay flat. Can anyone show me a flat surface that you can hit an object with? Great! When you lift your leg up, your thigh is a big flat surface! You can also use your palm! (Demonstrate a flat palm). I want to remind everyone of the protocols we have while we are in the gym. First, whenever I say Freeze! I want you all to stop where you are and put your eyes on me. Please place any object that you may be holding on the floor. Second, make sure that you are
staying safe while playing with the balls. If a ball gets away from you, yell Ball, ball, ball! to let your classmates know so they do not trip and fall. Lastly, please take care of the equipment. Do not throw or kick the balloons or balls while we are playing with them today. Transition: Now, when I say go, please pick up your balloon and carry it with you to your own self space. Go! T1. Great, now freeze! Please stay in your own self-space. Now, when I say go, strike the balloon upward with your open palm so it stays in the air. Try to keep the balloon from touching the floor. See if you can volley the balloon 10 times without letting it touch the floor. Freeze! You are all doing great! Make sure that you are keeping your palms flat so the ball goes straight up into the air. T2. When I say go, you will begin to move throughout the general space while volleying the balloon to yourselves. 2. Strike your balloon in the air so it travels forward as you walk through general space. Go! Travel across the gym as you volley the balloon forward. Can you complete your volley/travel without letting the balloon touch the ground?
Freeze! That looked great, and now, we are going to try to use different body parts. T3. When I say go, volley the balloon upward by striking it with different body parts. Stay in your own self space. How many different body parts can you use to volley the balloon upward? Go! Count how many times you can volley the balloon before it touches the floor. Don t use the same body part two times in a row. Freeze! When I say go, please place your balloons into the basket where you got them at the beginning of class. Then, choose a lightweight volleyball and carry it back to me. Sit in a circle around me. Go! Okay, now we are going to try to volley a bigger ball. T4. When I say go, I want you to volley throughout the general space. Then, exchange your ball with one of your classmate s. Make sure to use a flat surface! Go! Freeze! When I say go, find your own self-space. T5. Try to copy this sequence, Volley, bounce, volley, bounce, and so on. So, after you volley, instead of catching your ball, let it bounce to the ground and try to continue the volley from there. Go! See how many times you can switch balls with your classmates. Choose your favorite type of ball to volley. Then choose your type of volley (continuous, bounce, etc.). See how many times you can complete your sequence without a mistake.
Freeze! Do you all think it is harder to continuously volley than to just catch the ball after you hit it? I thought so! Now we are going to use these heavier balls to volley with different body parts, like we did with the balloon. T1. When I say go, strike the ball upwards with different body parts. You can use your foot, elbow, head, upper thigh, shoulder, hand, etc. Catch the ball after each volley. Be sure to use a flat surface to hit the ball. Can anyone show me what a flat surface looks like?(demonstrate a flat surface with different body parts, then pick two students to demonstrate as well.) Freeze! Everyone look at me. Please do not start until I say go. T2. Try to strike the ball with your hand, keeping your palm flat, so it travels directly upward. Where on the ball will you need to make contact to travel in a straight pathway upward? Right, on the bottom! Make sure to stay in your own self-space, go! Practice until you can volley the ball 3 times in a row without moving from your self-space. Practice until you can do this underhand volley 5 times without leaving your selfspace. Catch the ball after each volley.
Everyone, freeze! T3. When I say go, volley the ball upward continuously. Move your feet to be always in position under the ball. Be sure to yell Ball, ball, ball! if you lose control of your ball. Flat surface Record your personal best for today by counting the number of consecutive volleys you can complete without making a mistake. Freeze! Please place the balls on the floor. When I say go, pick up your ball and go to a space on the wall. Then, freeze, place your ball at your feet, and look at me. Go! T4. I want you to bounce the ball one time, strike it with your open palm, an underhand volley, so it travels to the wall. As the ball rebounds from the wall, let it bonce one time and then catch it. (Demonstrate this task). Go! Practice until you can complete this drop-hit-bounce-catch pattern three times. Freeze! When I say go, gently place your balls into the basket where you found them and line up facing me on the line. Go! Okay, When I say go, form a group of 3 with your classmates that have the same color shirt as you do. Go! (Put students into groups if t-shirt colors do not match). Each group needs to pick up one ball. Now we are going to play a game.
Freeze! T5. You have been practicing the underhand volley by striking the ball to a wall. When I say go, you will practice hitting the ball to send it to your partner; however, the ball must bounce inside a hoop on its way to our partner. You and your partner will each be in a hoop with one hoop in the middle. Remember, we are practicing the underhand pattern! (Demonstrate) See how many times you can keep the ball going without missing. Freeze! Everyone pick up your own light volleyball from the basket and carry it over to me. Have a seat in a circle. Now, we are going to use our feet to volley. Did you ever think you would use your feet this much while learning volleyball? I didn t think so! T1. When I say go, strike your ball with your upper thigh. Then, strike it from your upper thigh to the top of your foot. Catch your ball after you hit it with your foot. Make sure to use a flat surface! Go! See if you can use different body parts to keep the object going for 15 seconds. Freeze! Everyone, when I say go, place your balls into the basket and pick up a beach ball. Then come back and sit in a circle around me.
T2. When I say go, volley a beach ball with your foot, keeping in the ball in the air for several consecutive contacts. Use the inside, outside, and top of your foot and heel to send the ball upward. Really concentrate so we are not kicking the beach balls all over the gym, go! When I say go, begin your foot volley. I ll give the count each 10 seconds. Keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. T3. Freeze! When I say go, find selfspace near a wall. Strike the ball to the wall with your forearm so it contacts the wall between the two tape marks. Then, try to strike the ball above and below the markers. Count the number of times you can consecutively volley the ball against the wall without taking more than 1 step away from your self-space. Freeze! When I say go, please place the balls back into the basket. Then, find a partner of your choice. Each pair will need one ball. Once you have a partner and a ball, have a seat in a circle around me. Go! T4. When I say go, strike the ball from different positions in relation to your body with your partner. So, if the ball is high, stretch your arms up to hit it. If the ball is low, use your foot to kick it back into the air. You are not limited to just the hand and foot, so you can use any flat surface that you want to! (Demonstrate). Remember to encourage your partner to do his or her best! Go! Count the number of body parts you can use before the ball hits the floor.
T5. Freeze! When I am done talking, you and your partner will play handball. The target is the area between the 3 and 7 foot tape marks. Try to strike the ball to the wall so your partner cannot return the shot. You may only use the underhand volley to score. Challenge your partner to a game of 15 points! Remember to be positive and encouraging with your partner! Go! Assessment: Keep score with your partner and try to beat your own personal records. Psychomotor: Cognitive: Affective: Performance Assessment: Informal Assessment: Informal Assessment: Checklist: The student Used a flat surface. Consistently completed passes. Was cooperative with teammates. (*See Affective Assessment) Checking for Understanding What type of surface should we volley an object with? If you are volleying a ball towards me, show me where your arms will be extended to after you make contact with the ball. As students participate in the cooperative volleying games, I will monitor them to see if they are using words of encouragement and positivity. *There will be criteria on the checklist that will determine if the student was cooperative or not.
