Directions: You will be helping a partner improve ONE aspect of their basketball game this unit, through
the use of technology, research, and good planning. You will choose between shooting, passing, and
dribbling for your partner, and create one 15-20 minute teaching/coaching lesson that will be taught
during class time.
As seen on the picture, Monica is already proficient in most of the basic skills of
basketball. However, after further discussion we agreed on designing a plan that would
improve the skill proficiency of dribbling, especially focusing on dribbling below the
waist, performing successful crossovers, dribbling with the non-dominant hand, and
dribbling with speed whilst running as Monica shows that there is still room for her to
improve in those specific skills.
II. Peer Assessment
This picture bellow is an example of an expert in a dribbling stance
Now, let’s compare this expert’s dribbling stance to Monica’s dribbling stance:
As you can see from this picture, Monica’s left leg is only slightly bent whilst her
right leg doesn’t seem bent at all. When compared the expert’s stance, both
Monica’s knees aren’t as bent as the expert. Monica’s stance can be considered
incorrect because she isn’t able to get as low to the ground as she needs to in
games, making it easier for the opponent to steal the ball from her.
From this picture, we can see that Monica tends to dribble the ball to far up and
sometimes past the waist area. When we compare this to how the expert does it, we
can see that the expert’s ball tends to stay lower to the ground, slightly above his knee
area. Monica’s stance can be considered incorrect because if the ball is dribbled too
far up, opponents can more easily steal the ball from her in games.
From this photo, we can see that Monica’s other hand is sometimes placed on her
back and not protecting the ball. When we compare this to the expert, we can see that
his other hand is always placed Infront of him, so that when an opponent tries to steal
the ball, he can somewhat shield the ball with his other hand. Monica’s posture can be
considered incorrect because in games it makes it easier for opponents to steal the ball
from her.
