the risk of injury during the activities. Students will join their assigned lines and
perform each exercise twice the width of the basketball court. To begin the
lesson, students will be informed of the skills and activities to be accomplished for
the day followed by verbal and non verbal cues.

The goal of this unit plan is for students to understand basic skills such as

demonstrations. Furthermore, progressing into utilize the underhand serve within
an open environment with a partner in small sided activities. Next, learning the
essential cues and steps to performing backhand and forehand strokes in small
