BASKETBALL
Basketball, game played between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court,
usually indoors. Each team tries to score by tossing the ball through the opponent’s goal,
an elevated horizontal hoop and net called a basket. The object of basketball is to throw
the ball (basketball) into a hoop to score points. The game is played out on a rectangular
court and depending on which section of court you successfully throw a ball into the
basket will depend on how many points are scored. The ball can be moved around the
by dribbling or passing the ball. At the end of the game the team with the most points is
declared the winner.
GUARD THE PIN
Players stand in a circle formation. A pin is placed in the middle of the circle and one
player is selected to guard the pin. The teacher gives a foam ball to the players in the
circle. Players may pass the ball to each other until they have a open shot to knock the
pin down. Once the pin is knocked down, the guard may return to the circle and a new
guard is selected.
MATBALL
Matball is a Standards-based Invasion game that is suitable for Kindergarten and
Elementary school PE programs. It is also known as big base kickball, is an indoor team
game where players try to score runs by going around the bases after kicking a ball.
Unlike kickball, the bases are large floor mats and any number of players can stay on
them at the same time before running to the next one. Players on defense can tag runners
out by catching the ball, throwing it at the runner, or touching the players with it. Once
you split up into teams and set up the field, you’re ready to play!
CROSSOVER
Two teams are chosen and placed on either side of the room. A line or cones show the
start line for each team, of which is the safe/finish zone for the opposing team. A
line/cones also are placed at the center of the two teams. On ‘go’, the teams will try to
run to the opposite side of the room. Once teams pass the centre line, they can be tagged
by the opposing team. The player can be unfrozen in two ways. First, a player who has
made it to the safe/finish zone, can give up their position, grab the shoulder of the
frozen player and return to the original side. Second, a player can come across, grab the
shoulder of the the frozen player and then return. The game ends when all players are in
the opposing sides’ safe zone.
LACROSSE
Lacrosse originated as a native American sport. In that form, it was a battle between
sometimes hundreds of tribesmen, and very often turned violent. Lacrosse today is a
rapidly growing sport, one that owes as much to finesse and trickery as it does to brute
strength and violence. If you've ever been interested in learning how to play, you've
come to the right place.
NETBALL
First played in England in 1895, netball has spread to more than 70 countries. Played
predominantly by women, the sport is similar to basketball. Two teams of 7 players try
to shoot a rubber or leather ball, measuring 27 to 28 inches (67 to 77 cm) in
circumference, into the other team's goal ring at either end of the court. The
International Federation of Netball Associations is responsible for setting the rules.
WATER POLO
Water polo is a played like a combination of soccer and basketball, but with the
physicality and endurance of wrestling or football. It is one of the world's most popular
games and was actually the first team sport admitted to the Olympics. While the finer
points of fouls and pool dimensions are somewhat complex, the basics of the game are
easy to learn and start playing quickly.
