Physical Education SNAP Mini Plan: Basketball

Activities

Dribbling, cross-overs, passing, shooting

S

Dribbling Using a single hand to bounce the ball while moving around

Cross-overs Moving the ball from one hand to the other by dropping it on the ground and letting it bounce over to the other hand

Passing Sharing the ball with your teammates, i.e. by throwing

Shooting Throwing a ball from a distance such that it goes through the hoop

N

Indicate to learners that the moves identified above can be performed successively and in various combinations. For instance, one can dribble, perform a crossover, pass the ball to a teammate, after which the teammate can shoot the ball.

The ball could also be passed from a teammate, where one proceeds to dribble, and shoot the same.

Demonstrate each of the four moves (i.e. dribbling, cross-overs, passing and shooting) to learners

A

Have each learner perform each of the four moves as demonstrated above, i.e. dribbling, cross-overs, passing and shooting.

Each learner should be allowed to repeat a move until reasonable skill in ball handling is achieved.

P

Divide learners into opposing groups to mimic a basketball match.

Have learners perform and practice the moves identified above (i.e. dribbling, cross-overs, passing, and shooting) in this competitive setup.
