Methods: Volleying (Hillcrest)

1. Lesson Focus – Volley passing in a dynamic environment.

2. Standards/GLO’s
i. Two-hand-volleys with control in a dynamic environment (S1.M17.7)
3. Objectives
a. Students - At the end of this lesson TSWBAT:
i. Demonstrate setting and forearm pass in practice and modified game.
b. Teacher
i. Identify and provide proper directions into how to volley pass in a dynamic
environment.

4. Protocols
a. Students will stop what they are doing and look at me when you hear me say “Freeze”
b. Students will remain still and listen to instructions until I say “GO”
c. Students will place their volleyballs on the ground at their feet when I say “balls down”

5. Instant Activity
Volleyball Freeze Tag-
Taggers have pool noodles, unfreezers have volleyballs. If the other people get tagged they have
to freeze where they are at and only way to get unfrozen is to have an unfreezer hit bump back
and forth 3 to 4 times then they are no longer frozen.

6. Set Induction
Hey class, today we are going to work on volleying and passing the ball to each other in a
dynamic game. Volleyball is a really hard game to learn and understand the strategy for it. So to
begin we are going to practice how to set and bump to make the game easier for us when we
play in a more dynamic game situation like we are at the end.
