By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
(P)- Demonstrate successful skill cues when throwing and kicking the volleyballs to each other

(National # S1.H2.L1; MA CF: 2.17)(Activity:1,2)
(C)- Identify & differentiate proper techniques of throwing and kicking after observing other
classmates or practicing the activity themselves during the closure when asked by the teacher
during the closure. (National # S2.H4.L1; MA CF:2.24)(Activity:1,2)
(A)- Apply positive self-expression & enjoyment when partaking in all throwing and kicking
activities & clearly show appropriate behavior when working with a partner and in your team
during the activities. (National #:S5.H3.L1; MA CF: 2.26) (Activity:1,2,3)
Check each objective – is it specific? Is it achievable? Is it developmentally appropriate?
Teacher Performance Objectives – During the lesson the teacher will:
1. Challenge the students by checking for understanding during and after the activity.
2. Demonstrate affective teaching behaviors by providing two motivational objectives
during the lesson and at the closure.
3. Provide three different positive specific feedback statements to the students.
4. Explain safety & all of the rules of Speedball
5. Whistle when needed to gather, break, or address the class.
Special Considerations – What are the safety concerns? What is unique about the students
in this class?
Be sure to stay in the boundaries so students remain safe. Be aware that in the gym, the bleachers
might be out so make sure the students not run into the bleachers so they do not get hurt. Do not
run into the volleyball poles that will be in the corner of the gym. Only allow one defender to
guard a person at a time.

 Attendance when students go to their
spots issued to them on the floor.
Good morning, welcome to my class!
 Student leaders will be leading
different dynamic and static stretches -
Students get to a spot and begin warm
up: Toe touches, side twists, lunges,
arm pull. Quick jog laps around the
four big orange cones (4x).
 Have students do jumping jacks (10x),
push ups (5x) and sit ups (10x).
 “Who can tell me when teamwork can
be used in life? What sports in life do
you aim when releasing a ball? Today
in class we are going to be playing
Speedball.

3:00 Informing
Meeting place: This is where we are going to
meet for the whole semester after every warm
up. Point out the 4 cones, stress the importance
of personal space and SAFETY!!
Signals: Whistle to gather, break, and stop the
class or say 3,2,1 Freeze and the start signal

Lesson purpose: Understand the importance of

learning to work together in a group and
passing the ball to their teammates to get into
the end zone is what I will be teaching.
Steps: State the skill cues of throwing which
has been discussed in previous classes.

Checking for Understanding - Ask the students

what the focus is for the activity? Show video
of the high school students playing speedball.
Activity:
Activity 1: Partner Passing Work on skill cues
Activity 2: Speedball
Today in class, we will be learning a few
different important factors that occur when
playing Speedball. In this activity the students
 will be using the skill cues in throwing and
kicking that are used when playing Speedball.
The lesson will be taught through a command
style, since I will be telling the students what
they will be doing during the lesson. Students
will provide feedback for me to reflect on my
lesson. For each objective, the students are
getting appropriate & adequate O.T.R.

:30 Transition: Same as the instant activity

before.

Practice:
2:00 Activity 1: Arms get loosen- Command Style
Have students get into pairs with one ball
between the two of them and pass which will
help practice them stepping with opposition
like in the game of Speedball.
Demo: Have two students demonstrate for all
the students
Extensions:
Up - Have students move back, further away
from each other. Throw with other hand,
important to try and be ambidextrous. Try
flicking it up to your partner
Down - Have the students just catch the ball so
they can focus only on the important part of
the lesson getting their arms warmed up with
stepping with opposition towards the target.
Safety: Be aware of the other students around
you and stay in your own personal space so
that the students don’t bump into each other.
Stay away from the volleyball poles that are in
the corners of the gym.

Checking for Understanding:

- Why is it important to be aware of your own
personal space? To stay safe so no one gets
hurt being in each others space.
Demonstration for the class

enjoyable warm up activity to get students
active.

23:00 Activity 2: Speedball- Command Style
Ask the students if they remember how to play
Speedball. This activity will go along with the
last activity as you will be throwing and
kicking the volleyball trying to pass the ball to
each other. Have teams previously split up and
go over the rules for the game.
Demo: Have student leader demo in front of
their classmates so the students will know how
to score so they can see what it is supposed to
look like to score in the three different ways.
During the student demos, I will be talking to
the class about the rules.
Extensions:
Up – Everyone must catch and pass the ball to
another teammate
Down – There is no passing restriction
Checking for Understanding:
-Who can tell me why you need to step with
opposition when throwing a ball?
