Focus questions:
- How should I be
standing when I am

the ball?
- Can someone show
me where I should be

side of court before talking passes used?
- Indicate end of lesson - Were there any
passes you found
difficult? Easy?

Lesson Evaluation:

Student objectives?
Eg. All students attempted all passes. Students were successful in keeping their eyes on the ball, generally all passes were aimed and caught well.
Students were generally successful in stepping with their opposite foot when throwing the ball as pass were clean and students did not get twisted up. In
the conclusion of the lesson students were able to discuss what we did and why as well as explain how to safely complete a shoulder pass.

Teacher objectives?
Eg. Having the class set out along the centre third lines of the court allowed me to be able to see all of the students participation in the
pass and move activity. I would use this activity again but incorporate more modifications to make it more challenging for students once
they have begun to grasp the different types of passing
