Introduction:
As students are changing, teacher will put out equipment on floor
as diagramed to have students peruse as they enter the gym &
peak interest/questions. Teacher will have a few students knock
down pins to demo success.

Teaching/Learning Sequence:
Object of the game: to knock down the pins within the square for
points.

Rules:
there may be 1 goalie within each of the squares (only)
no one else may enter the square goalie crease
1 point for each pin knocked down even if your own goalie knocks
it down (can add this last point to the progression instead as
needed)
if you have the ball, you cannot run with it - throw only
game starts with a RPScissors for first throw in from your corner

Progression:

Closure: Discussions during the class regarding strategies,

increasing expectations, and holding to the rules will encourage
the learning process.
