of stopping the whole class.
The teacher will try and not focus the attention for too long on one or two students and try and
have a bigger view on the entire class.
The teacher will make sure the students shoot appropriate ranged shots and make sure people
arent in the way of the basket when shooting.
Special Considerations What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students in
this class?
The students should be aware of other basketballs potentially coming into their area while
playing.
