Fourth grade students will begin the unit reviewing the fundamental skills of catching, throwing, and scooping. Much of the time will be spent working on catching stick-side and with the backhand. Cradling will also be a priority - and is one the most difficult skills we address in the lower division.
Third graders will be introduced to cradling. Catching balls stick-side from passes and lobs will also be covered. Throwing the ball with a downward trajectory will mimic a low shot and give students practice receiving rolling/bouncing balls.
Second graders will work on throwing the ball down, out, and up. They will work on catching bouncing balls and will work on short distance passing.
First graders and kindergartners will work on catching self-tossed balls, scooping while moving, and passing the ball into open space and at targets.
Additionally, Second, Third, and Fourth graders will be running the mile this week to round out fitness testing.
