Instead of spinning now PIVOT (i.e. keep ball of one foot nailed to the floor and the other foot turns it round on the spot, touching the floor at least four times in complete circle).

Run about the space, jump to catch an imaginary ball, land one, two then pivot a complete circle before repeating the exercise.

“C” signals and runs out to one side “A” passes the ball to “C” and runs straight ahead to take “C’s” place. “C” pivots and passes back to “B” and runs behind “B” to begin the sequence again.

“A” passes the ball to “C” signalling hand – catches the ball then pivot to pass back. (Three turns and rotate roles).

Practise a low toss-up (players one metre away from each other, hands by sides, ball is held between them and tossed up no higher than the shortest one’s shoulder level).
A high toss up (players stand shoulder to shoulder and the ball is tossed well above their heads).

BALL HANDLING GAMES (Lesson 1)

LESSON OBJECTIVE-

EQUIPMENT-

(If you do not have a ball or bean bag check out the links below how to make a them)

WARM UP-

Moving around in a space get warm. If not a lot of space you can do it on the spot. (Jogging, skipping, sideways, walking, running, hopping, jumping)

Take out a ball practise bouncing the ball on the spot on the move and changing direction. (Try using the non-dominant hand)

Dribble the ball by bouncing, throw it into the air, jump to catch it and land with control. (Repeat several times)

SKILL DEVELOPMENT-

Mark out a square if you have someone to work with you stand in a different corner of each other but opposite each other. Pass to your partner and move sideways to the marker next to you and back again ready to receive the pass from your partner.

(Passes- chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass)

If you do not have someone to work with use a wall as your partner. Chest pass to the wall when the ball bounces back catch it with the ball move sideways to the marker and back again. Repeat and change the passes.

GAME ACTIVITY-

If you can make a small group 3-4 people. 3 people can play a game of piggy in the middle try and use the passes worked on.

If you can make a small group 3-4 people. 4 people can play mini dodgeball in a square 3 v1 with the attackers passing among themselves and attempting to bounce pass and hit the dodger below the knee. If the dodger avoids being hit from six attempts, change him/her out. If the dodger is hit, change him/her out – in strict rotation of players.

If you cannot make a small group then find some things that can be used as targets. Can you hit them with the ball? Can you get the ball to stay inside it?

CONCLUDING ACTIVITY-

Stepping (not jumping). How few steps can you take to travel from one side of the area to the other?
