throughout our lives. This unit will use a combination of Teaching Games for Understanding and Teaching Personal and Social
Responsibility, with the instructional strategies of peer teaching, cooperative learning, and direct instruction. The overall aim of this
unit is to create connected authentically rewarding learning experience for students, to support their journey in staying physically
active through life through. This will be done through a variety of invasion games, supporting their development of becoming
competent game performers with the use of the games of football and ultimate frisbee.
Rationale:
The objective of invasion games is to invade the opponent’s territory to score a goal, while concurrently protecting their own
goal. This unit will provide students with opportunities to explore tactical problems related to the games of football and ultimate
frisbee. The unit intention is that students learning experiences will elicit positive emotions and through these rewarding experiences,
the students will develop and apply a variety of fundamental skills, strategies, and tactics in a variety of territorial/invasive games.
By the end of this unit, students will have participated in a variety of lessons related specifically to ultimate frisbee and football
that can be transferred and applied into a variety of territorial/invasion games. Though the unit will focus in on ultimate frisbee and
football, it doesn’t matter which sports are the focus, as students will have gained the confidence and competence to participate in a
5
variety of other invasion/territorial games that are similar in focus. As a result of engaging in this unit, we aim to instill physical
literacy, teamwork, leadership, respect, and self-directed learning in the students. Implementing components of TPSR will promote
students to have a sense of reasonability, cooperation and promote caring about others and their experience and development. Through
the use of TPSR we intend to set connection intentions in each lesson that is responsible for driving the learning process, reflection,
and assessment. A connected authentically rewarding learning experience is the target for student learning. After each lesson we want
our students' learning experiences to elicit positive emotions and produce the want to do it again. I.e., “Today my learning experience
felt amazing, and I want to do that again.”. Through the promotion of a socially and emotionally safe and supporting learning
environment, all students will acquire the confidence and competence to participate in a variety of invasion games.
Curricular Models
Teaching Games for Understanding: TGfU is a student-centered approach that prioritizes tactical skills through decision making and
problem solving, and through this student also develop their technical skills. The TGfU model is premised around game understanding
and decision making and is not dependent on the student’s development of sport specific techniques. This model assumes that students
learn best if they understand what to do before they understand how to do it.
Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility: TPSR is a student-centered approach with the desire to facilitate learners to develop
themselves as people, learning to be responsible for the ways they conduct themselves and treat other people. This model utilizes
physical activity as a vehicle to learn to reduce aggressive and disruptive behaviours; improve self-control, conflict resolution,
empathy, and self-efficacy.
6
Instructional Strategies:
Direct Instruction: Teacher directs the responses of students by telling them what to do, show them how to practice, then directing
their practice
Cooperative Learning: Learning tasks or projects are assigned to a heterogenous group of students to work cooperatively as a team
Peer Teaching: Uses peers teamed in pairs or small groups to actively teach one another. Teacher plans the tasks and communicates
them to the students; the students assume roles of providing feedback and assessing.

Sequence of Unit
Our unit plan on invasion games starts with an introduction to invasion games lesson that will go over what types of sports and
games are considered invasion games, and generally what the objectives and aspects make up these games. This allows students to
wonder and make connections to other games they know and as we move through the unit this lesson allows students to make
connections on different tactics from other familiar invasion games. Our skills in this unit will focus on both ultimate and football
specific skills. Therefore, our second and third lesson will be focusing on refining skills such as sending and receiving an object
(both a disc and a football) to create a proper foundation of skills so students can further explore more complex aspects of invasion
games. Our lessons then focus on creating space, attacking the goal, transitional plays and defending space. These lessons begin to
develop students’ offensive decision making and allow them to think about why these aspects are important in game play. Creating
space and attacking the goal are critical but knowing how and when to implement these concepts will create smarter players. After
learning these concepts, we then can build on transitional plays, which show the importance of using turnovers to push fast plays to
prevent defense to set up and give the offense an advantage. After mastering those offensive tactics, we then move to defending
space, which creates more strategies on how to protect the goal. All these strategies in this order builds off each other to further build
students' understanding on maintaining possession and strategically attacking and defending in game play. Our last two lessons then
become game appreciation lessons, in which we tie in everything we learn into two days of application using different games. These
two days are where students can apply their skills, strategies, and knowledge in real game play to conclude our unit
14
End Product
By the end of the unit, we want students to expand in the areas of personal growth, classroom contribution and healthy thinking. It is
through these objectives that we want our students to create authentically rewarding learning experiences of invasion games.
Through embracing healthy emotions and sharing healthy energy with classmates, we hope students create a positive bond with
sports such as football and ultimate frisbee, leading them to want to do it again
Environments
Adaptations/Modifications
Our unit plan has can link to other areas in our curriculum such as:
Science/Biology:
o Specifically, anatomy and physiology. When discussing and debriefing with the group about different movements we
are exploring, students will learn about different muscles and joints that are being used. We can talk about what bones
are moving and how the specific joints move (explain the range of motion of any joints being used).
o It is important in this unit to stress the importance of cool down and warm up time and why it is important around
vigorous and moderate exercise to reduce risk of injury and prepare our muscles or slow down our heart rate. We will
discuss why warming our joints up (synovial joints especially) is so important. This is to be sure that synovial fluid is
lubricating our joints and preparing our bodies before physical activity in which reduces injury and increase range of
motion of that joint.
o We also will go over and discuss what energy systems are being used and what our bodies are doing to use energy in
15
each activity (anaerobic, aerobic ect.). We go over what ATP is (as they are learning about it in their own science
classes) and how/when our bodies utilize it during different types of physical activity.
English:
o We will have students demonstrate their understanding (CFU) or reflect on our learning objectives on worksheets
using proper, full sentences. We will allow them to critically think when reflecting and be able to articulate what they
are thinking and feeling.
o We will also have students debrief and reflect with one another and exchange opinion, strategey and ideas. This
allows students to discuss and utilize their language skills to be able to vocalize and share their ideas and
understanding. Collaborating ideas with one another allow students to discuss and assess different ideas from others
and be able to put into words when critical thinking. This develops their communication and linguistic skills.
Psychology:
o Able to discuss how exercise is a good coping mechanism for some mental health challenges and other ways to create
dopamine in the brain when exercising. We can connect why our cool down and deep breathing help calm us down
after exercise and what part of our brain is regulating our bodies (temperature, heart rate ect.), which is the
hypothalamus.
Social Studies:
o When/if we take class outside during this unit, we can talk about our environment and the land we are on. We can talk
about the significance of where we live and which indigenous band’s land we are playing and studying on. We can
touch and some history of where are and history of the band that the land belongs to. For example, we are on the land
that belongs to Tsleil-Waututh people formally known as Burrard Inlet Indian Band which is a first nation band
government in BC.
o We also encourage students to strategize and gather information based on what we are teaching and make connections
to different activities from different cultures and countries outside of western society. For example, in most other
countries they play sports that are similar to American football such as rugby or in India “kabaddi”.

Implementing components of TPSR will promote students to have a sense of reasonability, cooperation and promote caring about
others and their experience and development. Through the use of TPSR we intend to set connection intentions in each lesson that is
responsible for driving the learning process, reflection, and assessment. A connected authentically rewarding learning experience is
the target for student learning. After each lesson we want our students' learning experiences to elicit positive emotions and produce
the want to do it again. I.e., “Today my learning experience felt amazing, and I want to do that again.”.

The benefit of this invasion game unit is that the lessons can be modified/adapted for either indoors in the gymnasium or outdoor on
the field (1). However, if unforeseen circumstances occur and the class does not have access to the gym or outdoor field, there are a
17
variety of back-up plans that can be executed in the mat room, classroom, the school’s grand hall or any other space the students will
have access to for that block. Should we need to initiate a back-up plan, the class will be presented with the 2 alternatives and will
have a choice of what to do.
(2) The students will further deepen their knowledge and understandings of invasion games by exploring the game category of
invasion games through an inquiry lens where they will be required to create their own invasion game. Although this unit does not
have an inquiry focus, initiating this back up plan promotes a higher level of student “buy in” by making the learning personal,
would encourage deeper forms of student understanding of invasion games and affords students the opportunity to be creative. This
is especially ideal when the teacher is in the position of having to run a back-up plan as these notoriously can be very last-minute
decisions that may not have any learning intentions or educational benefits for the students. Instructions for this back up plan of
creating a game are as follows:
After presenting the game, fellow classmates will have time to ask them questions as if they were going to play it. If the students
seem really thrilled about the games they create, then it is recommended that the unit plan is readjusted to allow for the students to
play/test out their games the next class they have gym/field access. Allow the students to celebrate what they have created.
(3) Invasion Game Research Assignment – Students will work in pairs for this activity. They will have 5 minutes to find a video clip
of any invasion game online and will engage in a worksheet to deepen their knowledge and understandings of the tactical
components of invasion games. Students will watch 5 minutes of this clip and answer the questions in the worksheet (refer to
Appendix C).
(4) On the Sidelines Worksheet – Stuff happens, and sometimes students cannot physically participate in class on any given day due
to circumstances such as illness, injury, unsafe footwear, etc... This does not mean they get to sit on the side and not learn. Students
who are unable to participate during activities will be provided with the On the Sidelines Worksheet (refer to Appendix C)

Emotional
Implementing components of TPSR will promote students to have a sense of reasonability, cooperation and promote caring about
others and their experience and development. Through the use of TPSR we intend to set connection intentions in each lesson that is
responsible for driving the learning process, reflection and assessment. A connected authentically rewarding learning experience is
the target for student learning. After each lesson we want our students' learning experiences to elicit positive emotions and produce
the want to do it again. I.e., “Today my learning experience felt amazing, and I want to do that again.”.
Transitions:
When teacher says, “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea”, students respond “SpongeBob Square Pants”. That is the signal
that they need to stop what they are doing and give their undivided attention back to the teacher
Assessment
Set Induction
Why: Invasion games are games that require one team to invade another team’s territory
in order to score a point, this is a very broad game category that may include sports like
football, ultimate frisbee, basketball, soccer, rugby and other sports you may already
play. Engaging with this unit will help you enhance/learn new invasion games quicker as
much of the skills are transferrable. Additionally, we must recognize that not everyone
plays sports outside of school and their contribution in the class is just as valuable as
anyone else. We want to create a learning environment where everyone is able to feel
safe and have fun, where our peers walk away and say, “today my learning experience
felt amazing, and I want to do that again”. Additionally, sharing healthy emotions will
help you succeed outside of the walls of PHE. In interviews, with friendships, with your
other classes, can anyone think of anything else?
29
How: We will do this by first introducing you to invasion games through a video,
engaging in a small discussion, playing an emotional mix up game, and ending off with
an introductory invasion game of end ball to set the scene of the rest of the unit.
Go over rules and expectations: “who lives in a pineapple under the sea”, be respectful to
yourself, your peers, and the equipment.
Warm Up
4:00
4) After the video – turn to the person beside you and talk about 1) an example of an
invasion game, 2) describe some strategies you can do while playing
5) Give students about 2-3 minutes to converse, then bring it back as a large group.
“Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?”
6) Ask for popcorn style from what partners discussed.
Activity
Students gather in the middle of the playing area. The teacher assigns one
endline as the positive experience/emotions and the opposite endline is assigned
as the negative experience/emotion.
The teacher calls out “Positive” or “Negative”. When they do, students run as
fast as they can to that line
Once students show that they understand the lines, the teacher will introduce yell
out a phrase, and students must react and run to either the positive or negative
31
side of the playing area based on where they believe that statement falls.
If there appears to be a large amount of people on the wrong line, take a moment
to pause and discuss with the class. With the negative emotion statements, take a
pause and ask the students how someone might re direct their thoughts and make
it positive
1) Today we were playing football, and I was a bit nervous going into it. But once
we got going, I was didn’t hold back. I knew I wasn’t the best, but I jumped into
every play and went for every ball.
2) I was on a team with a lot of the student athletes, and no one passed to me while
we were playing
3) I kept dropping the ball after someone passed it to me, and eventually just gave
up because I clearly suck and wasn’t getting better.
4) I came into class today with low energy, but Jimmy kept helping passing me the
ball during our games.
5) Jimmy is 6”1 and kept blocking the ball every time I passed it. I never stood a
chance
6) My teammates and I celebrated every time someone scored.
7) My teammates and I celebrated our teammates efforts, even if they dropped the
ball or made a mistake
8) I went into today’s lesson knowing I wouldn’t be very good
9) I went into today’s lesson knowing that I have so much potential to grow and
took risks, because I know it is through failure that we grow.
10) I am such a good soccer player, so why would I pass the ball to anyone. Like,
don’t they want to win? They should be happy I’m on their team.
After we get through all the statements, hand out the self-reflection sheet for all students
to review. Explain that the expectation through this unit is that they are the best PE
student that we talked about with our partners, not the best athlete. We want to make
everyone feels welcomed, to embrace positive thoughts and to challenge ourselves,
because it is through risks and failures that we grow.

scissors.
The loser starts with the ball in their endzone and must throw a good pass across the
playing field to the other team. Once the other team is in possession of the ball –
game play begins.
Once a team scores, they retract to their side with the ball. They will then throw the
object across the gym to the other team to initiate game play.
No using feet to advance the ball, players must use their hands to shoot, pass, or
dribble!
No goalies.
Students will have a choice between using either a football or frisbee. Democratic
vote. Hands up for frisbee. Hands up for football. Majority wins. Do vote with eyes
closed to maintain anonymity.
*Before we get started! Remember the healthy positive thoughts and behaviours we
just discussed. I don’t want to see you perform like you are training for the
Olympics or playing on a sports team. I want to see you embrace the qualities of a
great physical education student.*
Game rotation: 4:00 minute games. If you have a peer tutor, have them set up the timer

Lesson Plan
Lesson 2
Sending and Receiving an Object: Football
37
Grade: 10
Big Idea(s)
Trying a variety of physical activities can increase the likelihood that we will be active throughout our lives
Healthy choices influence our physical, emotional, and mental well-being
Understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and personal preferences help us plan and achieve our goals
Refine and apply movement skills in a variety of physical Proper technique for movement skills
activities and environments Movement concepts and strategies
Identify and explain motivational factors influencing Strategies for goal-setting and self-motivation
participation in physical activities
Demonstrate safety, fair play, and leadership in physical
activities
Participate in physical activities designed to enhance and
maintain health components of fitness
Develop skills for maintaining healthy relationships and
responding to interpersonal conflict
Connection Intention
Be a great coach. Set high standards for yourself and your peer. Learning to throw a football can be challenging, be brave and
challenge yourself and your partner.
Equipment/Resources:
Cones
Hula hoops 20-40 (as many as possible)
Footballs
Mats
Physical
Ensure Air Pods are out, phones are in locker, appropriate footwear, no open doors, facility is swept and cleared for hazards,
equipment is placed in consideration of student safety during game play, spatial awareness reminder, students are not allowed to
make physical contact with other players.
Be sure to emphasize watching out for footballs when playing the activities from other teams throwing balls in the same direction
Emotional
Implementing components of TPSR will promote students to have a sense of reasonability, cooperation and promote caring about
others and their experience and development. Students will self-reflect and reflect on their peers for a formative assessment in which
they are expected to assess theirs and their peers learning process. After each lesson we want our students' learning experiences to
elicit positive emotions and produce the want to do it again. I.e., “Today my learning experience felt amazing, and I want to do that
again.”.
Transitions:
When teacher says, “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea”, students respond “SpongeBob Square Pants”. That is the signal
that they need to stop what they are doing and give their undivided attention back to the teacher
Students will “bring it in” and come in towards me to get m
Assessment
Group Warm Up
Students then run across the gym to their partner as the teacher plays music.
Students run to high-fives their partner across the court, which indicates it is their turn to run across to the
next partner while the partner who ran stays at the baseline (like a continuous relay race).
This goes on until the teacher stops the music, if anyone is in the snake pit (within the cones) when the music
is stopped, they must do a task that the teacher yells out.
41
For example: “Everyone in the snake pit give me 5 jumping jacks” or “Everyone in the snake pit give
me 5 big skips on the spot”
Set Induction
Connection Intention
Be a great coach. Set high standards for yourself and your peer. Learning to throw a
football can be challenging, be brave and challenge yourself and your partner.
Revisit rules and expectations: “who lives in a pineapple under the sea”, be respectful to
yourself, your peers, and the equipment.

Progressions:
Build one: Advance the game by having some hula hoops further away be worth more
points (challenges them to move further if some students are more developed in this
skill)
Modifications/Adaptations:
Can allow some players to take some steps forward to make it easier to throw
Can allow players to move slightly by changing the rules for the catcher to only
need one foot be in hoop and not both.
Manipulate the boundaries if the game (making it bigger or smaller)
Can manipulate the objected used (start with a ball instead to get used to aiming
and catching)

Emotional
Implementing components of TPSR will promote students to have a sense of reasonability, cooperation and promote caring about
others and their experience and development. Through the use of TPSR we intend to set connection intentions in each lesson that is
responsible for driving the learning process, reflection and assessment. A connected authentically rewarding learning experience is
the target for student learning. After each lesson we want our students' learning experiences to elicit positive emotions and produce
the want to do it again. I.e., “Today my learning experience felt amazing, and I want to do that again.”.
Transitions:
When teacher says, “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea”, students respond “SpongeBob Square Pants”. That is the signal

Assessment
Group Warm Up
Part I: Lengths
Line all the classes up on the end line of the gym, one class after the other.
One class on the black line, one on the blue line, one on the green line
(one on the yellow line if there are four classes).
One at a time each class does one length of the gym in various methods. Once each class gets to the opposite end
of the gym they wait there for the other classes to also finish their length and line up.
54
Part II: Relay (8 minutes) - Can play music during this portion of the warmup.
Students get into groups of 3 along the end line; first person sitting, second person kneeling, third person
standing.
Assign the first student in each group to go to the opposite end line where they will be doing push-ups.
Assign the second student in each group to stay at that end line where they will be doing sit ups.
Assign the third student in each group to be running.
The students do a relay of the three exercises. The runner runs to the opposite end line and switches with the
student doing push-ups. The student that was doing push-ups is now the runner. They run to the opposite end
line and switch with the student doing sit ups. The relay continues until the clock runs out

are attacking play, let them explore the
When in possession of the ball, an offensive players movement is limited to game and the concept of
pivoting creating space.
When playing defence, players must adopt Warm defence rules (arms distance
away, no steals, no physical contact)
Should the offensive team drop the ball, or catch the ball outside the boundaries
of the game, possession of the ball is given to their opponents. Play is restarted
from where possession was regained
Should the offensive team score, they give the ball to their opponents. Play is
restarted at center court – with both teams on their own side of the play area –
and resumed by a backwards pass
Progressions:
Build one: Underhand passes, gator skin ball
Build two: Overhand passes, gator skin ball no more than 3 seconds with the ball
Build three: Overhand passes, gator skin ball, no more than 3 seconds with ball and
everyone on your team has to touch it before a score will be counted (last pass to goal

Both groups go back to using a single ball or frisbee that they need to pass in the as you play?
pattern they created in the previous build.
Now, when a player passes the ball, that player must then move to an open space
on their half of the playing area. This means that groups will no longer be
maintaining the circle formations that they help in build one.
The player in possession of the ball may only pivot and cannot run around with it
As players pass and move, they count out loud how many completed passes they
have successfully made
Should the ball be dropped at any point, that group simply restarts from where
they left off in their pattern but bring their pass count back to zero
After each group has found their passing rhythm, the teacher can modify the
activity by no longer restricting that the group remain in their half of the playing
area. Groups are now playing in a shared space, but they may not interfere with
the other group’s passing
Progressions:
59
Play 5-minute rounds and switch the teams up. – teams get 60 second tactical time
outs between rounds to strategize
Game 3:
Team 1 vs 3
Team 2 vs 5
Team 4 vs 6
Game 4:
Team 1 vs 6
Team 2 vs 3
Team 4 vs 5
Modifications/Adaptations:
Increase/decrease playing area
3 second time limit with the ball
Allow 3 steps with the ball
Take a way NBA JAM rules if too complicating
Closing/Transition to Closure:
Ask students to collect all the cones and put them back into the equipment room, pinnies
to go back into pinnie bag. Balls/frisbees back into the equipment room
Assessment:
Restate connection intention and go through student attendance/assessment report
book, randomly place your finger along the student list, and take daily self-
assessment scores.
Give enough time for students to fill out the 3-2-1 activity in OneNote or hard
copy in class (up to them, but it needs to get done, if it isn’t done by midnight
check in with them the next day).

Formative Assessment
Student Portfolio:
65
At the end of each lesson, students will be asked to access their personal one note through Microsoft teams. One note will be set up for
the unit, and each student will be responsible for completing the prompt/activity for that day. The link can be accessed below. Please
note – because this was created as a template, the link is view only. Ideally, with a set class and teacher access to Microsoft teams, this
portfolio would allow individual student access where they can input their answers onto the page individually and only the teacher will
have access to viewing it.
The daily one note prompts can also be found in the attendance/assessment report book on the next page.
Attendance/assessment report book: This document is to be used for daily assessments with students. It will be used to track
attendance (under the “P” column), report daily scores out of 100, as well as formative assessment prompts/activity for the day. For
example, day 2, attendance will be done at the beginning of class while students are engaged in their warm-up, at the end of the lesson,
students will gather by the whiteboard, where they will be reminded and asked to reflect on how they fulfilled that day’s connection
intention, and to give a score out of 100 and how accurately they feel they fulfilled it. Upon giving that score, they will answer said
66
prompt for the day, i.e., “1 way you helped your peer succeed”. This template can be used/modified across many units throughout the
semester.

Appendix B
76
Catching: Throwing:
Level 1: Pancake Level 1: Backhand
Level 2: Lobster Level 2: Basic forehand,
Level 3: Intermediate forehand,
Level 4: Hammer
Backhand throw
Critical elements:
Grip: Curled under disk, thumb on top (disk parallel with warm), staggered stance
side to your target. Cock wrist back, rotate waist, bringing frisbee back to waist (to
generate velocity), transfer weight from back foot to your front foot, extend arm out
point towards target snapping wrist at the end
Instructional cues:
Staggered stance, face target, frisbee back, transfer weight, extend arm forward,
snap wrist and release
Forehand throw
Critical Elements
Thumb on top, index and middle finger extended out under the frisbee, knees slightly bent and feet towards the receiver, shift weight
to throwing side, when bringing disk back keep elbow pointed to target (keeping disk level while bringing forward). Extend arm
forward while rotating trunk forward, snap wrist when releasing and keep hand pointed at receiver (palm should be facing the sky)
Instructional cues:
77
Staggered stance, shift weight to throwing side, keep elbow pointed to target, rotate, and extend arm forward, release pointing at target
and palm facing up
Hammer throw
Critical Elements:
Grip: Same as forehand throw (thumb on top, index and middle finger extended out under the frisbee.
Knees slightly bent and feet towards the receiver), similar to a volleyball overhand serve, start with
disk at side (as if you were going to forearm throw it), move the disc above your head holding the
disc vertically, when disc is 45 degrees from ground (overhead) release the disc, right leg is out to the
back of you, weight should be on right leg (or opposite if faking a left forearm throw), as bringing
disc up and over your head, weight should be transferring to left. After weight is transferred, right leg
may come forward to balance.
Instructional Cues:
Fake forearm throw, bring frisbee over head (holding disc vertically), transfer weight from right to
left, at 45 degrees release high
Pancake Catch
Critical elements:
As frisbee is coming in at chest level, square chest to the frisbee,
look frisbee in with eyes, place one hand on top of frisbee, while
simultaneously bring free hand up to catch under the frisbee
(sandwiching the frisbee with your hands)
Instructional cues:
78
Square body, look into hands, clap on to the frisbee (top and bottom)
Lobster Catch:
Critical elements:
If the disc isn’t coming straight at you, aim to grasp the disc with your 4 fingers on top and thumb on the bottom. If frisbee is coming
low, rotate hand so fingers are on bottom, and thumb is on top
Instructional cues:
Locate frisbee, look frisbee into hand, crasp with grasp.
Appendix C
Working in groups of 5, students will create an inclusive game that fits within the game category of invasion/territorial. You will have
a total of 30 minutes to work with your group to explore the equipment room and design your game. You are required to come up with
the following and be prepared to share it with the class:
79
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Game Name:
Number of players
Description of Activity/Rules:
81
“Territory Games are activities that involve controlling an object, keeping it away from opponents and moving it into position to
score. Both offensive and defensive players share the same playing area as they work to prevent the other team from scoring. By
playing these games, participants will learn the key skills and tactics for games such as Soccer, Handball, Ultimate Frisbee, Football,
Basketball, Hockey, Goalball, Wheelchair Basketball and Lacrosse.” (Playsport.net, n.d.).

Imagine that you are responsible for teaching the class through the practice of one aspect to your game (maintaining possession,
passing, receiving, defensive strategies, etc...). Your task is to develop one skill focussed activity based on this tactical skill.
Equipment Needed:
Description of Activity:
1. How can the practice task for your chosen game transfer into any other invasion game?
2. Describe the main activity/game that the rest of the class participated in.
4. Pick one student to watch in class. Do not write their name down. Make a list of all the physical movements/activities
that person does.
5. How do you feel about missing PHE today? What will you do to be sure you are prepared to participate next class?
