Taught P.E. for ages at Primary school. Gathered together all my lesson plans. Especially useful for non experts. People are often assigned P/E. to fill in their timetable. example planning : W/B: 5th January (Hares) 12th January (Badgers) Session 1 – Netball LO: To explore a variety of netball passes • I can talk about the game of netball • I can name 3 types of netball pass • I can pass and catch accurately (using a W) • I can apply my passing skills to a game of “piggy in the middle” Key Skills: catching, passing, footwork. Resources: Video clip, Netballs (WILL NEED BLOWING UP), Bibs marker cones http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzj00otJCKA Show the children this netball clip in the classroom. What do you notice? • Can players move with the ball? (no) • Can they turn when they have got the ball? (pivot on the ball of your foot) • What types of passing do you notice? • How do players get the ball? How many players are there on a netball team? 7 – centre, wing attack, wing defence, goal attack, goal defence, goal shooter, goal keeper. Draw a sketch of the court – only those with a “g” in their name can entre the semi circles at their respective ends. Why do we need to warm up? (talk to a partner, then share) Warm up – Stuck in the Mud. Emphasise the importance of stopping still when you’re tagged as when you catch the ball in netball you cannot move. Teacher demonstrates chest pass. Children should have wide hands to grip the ball. They hold the ball close to their chest and push the ball using power from their arms to their partner’s chest. Children to get into 3s. 2 children to pass, the 3rd to coach/support then swap around. Ext: Ask pairs to move further away. Support: Get pairs to move closer together. Teacher to stop children where they are. Explain that when we want to catch the ball we should show a ‘W’ target with our hands. Children to practise passing again, but also focussing on catching technique. Teach children bounce pass. Explain to the children that the bounce pass comes from the stomach and gets passed to their partner’s stomach. The ball should bounce just slightly over half way between pairs, slightly towards the person receiving the ball. Children given time to practise the bounce pass in their 3s. Teach children shoulder pass. Emphasise that this is NOT a football pass, it comes from the shoulder and as the arm is extended the ball is pushed over the opponent. Children given time to practise this as well as the other passes they have been taught. Passing practice 1: In pairs, children place a cone where they are standing and another cone approximately 1m either side. Now the other child passes the ball to one of the outside cones. Children start on the original cone but have to move to receive the ball (don’t know which way they are moving until their partner passes the
