ALIGNED TEAM SPORTS

PERCEPTION Roll out the ball Captains choosing sides 30 kids 1 ball Sport skills tests Rule history exams Dodgeball Focus is predominantly competition

PERCEPTION “As a kid I wanted desperately to be good at sports…not because I enjoyed them…because I learned that physical education classes were key to my social survival.” “Every PE unit was a means for me to prove just how useless and uncooperative my body really was.” “Every new sport was a fresh hell. I spent the majority of the time either on the sidelines or waiting to be picked for a team by one of the popular kids.” “Calling the class ‘physical education’ was some sort of sick joke. The lesson I was learning about my physical body was that it was useless, inferior…” “We should have been learning about how complicated and capable our bodies were and how to make them healthier. Instead we were playing dodgeball.” Jessica Olien--Author

STUDENTS ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW… WHY? We teachers need to give them a reason why we are doing something. What’s the easiest way? Teach the 5 Components of Fitness: Flexibility Body Composition Muscular Strength Muscular Endurance Cardiovascular This can develop physically literate students, while giving them a reason why things are done.

Teams--small No more than 5 Mixed ability Just boys Just girls Equipment--varied Rubber critters Small exercise ball Rules Monster volleyball Gender scoring Overlook lower ability levels (double dribbling—who cares?) Field Change size as needed (Take it to the backyard) Handball on ice Scoring Mix up typical games & how to score Through a hula hoop Catch in end zone In a goal Off a bounce-back MODIFY THE GAME

ADAPT& MODIFY - Can students utilize skill development at the High School level? - Is skill development necessary/essential? If you want to steer away from skill development, you need to adapt and modify games. Ex: Hand Soccer Flag Buckets

Water Polo Bucketball Under H2O Football Broomball Handball Cone Broomball Handball Tchoukball Boxball Football Ultimate passing Rugby Soccer Speedball Pinball Lacrosse Ultimate crosse Crosse softball VARIATIONS

STRAIGHT FORWARD APPROACH TO LINKING THE STANDARDS uhs.portal.rschooltoday.com/files//st_standards_rubric.pdf

ASSESS BY USING DATA Is PE data concrete? First, eliminate observation only assessments Here’s what you can do: 1.) Pedometers 2.)Insta-pulse sticks/Heart rate monitors

Overwhelmingly: “The difference between moderate & vigorous heart rate zone. Vigorous provides the same benefits as moderate in ½ the time plus cardiovascular benefits.” --3 students in 3 years TEAM SPORTS: WHAT IS 1 THING YOU KNOW ABOUT HEALTH/FITNESS YOU WILL USE IN YOUR FUTURE?
