Protocols: Go- students will begin; Stop- students will stop running and the student with the ball
will put the ball between their feet.
**After a score the other team will start where the ball lands.
Set Induction: Today we will be playing a game called Galaxy Ball. There will be one hula
hoop hanging on each of the 2 basketball goals. You will try and score the ball through the
opposing team’s hula hoop. The rules of Ultimate Frisbee apply to Galaxy Ball. I will explain in
content development. This game will help with students developing a better and more accurate
throw and also help with catching abilities.
Scoring: Throw the ball through the other team’s galaxy (hula hoop). Your team gets one point
for each ball thrown through the other team’s galaxy.
Change of Possession: When a pass is not completed (e.g. drop, block, interception, stalled), the
defense immediately takes possession of the ball and becomes the offense.
Non-contact: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also
prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made, and the other team gets the ball
Movement of the Ball: The ball may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a
teammate. Students may not run with the ball. The student with the ball has ten seconds to throw
the ball.
**Students have previously been divided up into teams from last week’s lesson. We will use the
same teams
Demonstrate how to properly throw the ball to a teammate or through the galaxy. Ask a
student to help demonstrate with you how to properly play. Try to avoid tossing the ball
because we are working on throwing.
Challenges: After a few minutes I will make it where the students can only score from
behind the 3-point line. This will make the throwing of the ball important for accuracy.
Closure: Very good work today! I noticed that everyone was always moving and a majority of
you were able to successful throw the ball threw the hula hoop even behind the 3-point line.
Which hand do you prefer throwing with? Can someone show me? I need someone to help me
demonstrate the cues that we went over for throwing.
