4-8 In basketball like most sports moving when you don’t SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
have the ball is very important, it helps you get open and
it helps your teammates get open. Your team is much T
harder to guard when everyone is moving. Another way
to help your team get open is to set screens. Explain
screens.
Ball handling
Students will form 3-5 lines on one sideline behind the
yellow cones. The first student in each line will have a
ball. They will walk to half court and back doing ball taps
8-12 at head height. They will then pass it to the next person
in line. The next time through students will do walking
ball taps where they continuously move the ball from
their head to their knees. They will then do walking
banana peel ball taps.
Activity 2:
Dribbling
Students will form 5 lines on one sideline behind the sssssss
12-16 yellow cones. The first student in each line will have a
ball. There will be cone laid out in front of them. The first T

fakes out of the triple threat position, while the defender
shadows the ball with his hand. After 30 seconds, the
students will switch roles.
Dribbling
Students will work in partners. They will line up on the
sideline. One partner will start as defender, while the
12-16 other will start with the ball. The defender will play
shadow defense as the ball handler dribbles from one
sideline to the other. The offensive player will dribble
three times in one direction before making a change of
direction dribble and going three dribbles in the other
direction. Once they reach the other sideline, they will
switch roles and come back the other way.

● Presses. T
17
Explain offensive strategies:

● Screens
● Give and Gos
● Backdoor cuts
● Spacing
Ball handling
Students will start with a ball. They will practice Activity 1 and 2:
stationary pivoting with each foot. Once they are doing
8-12 well with that, I will tell them to dribble within the space. sssssss
When I blow the whistle, they have to stop and pivot in
place. T
Dribbling
Each student has a ball. The students will spread out in sssssss
the half court area. The objective is to be the last person
remaining with a live dribble. If your ball gets knocked
12-16 out of bounds, or if you pick up the ball, you are out. As
more students get out, I will reduce the playing area.
Passing
Students will form three lines on the sideline. The balls
will start in the middle lane. The students will perform the
3 man weave. The passer will follow his pass and ran
16-20 behind and curl around the person he/she passed to.
The person with the ball will now throw it the other
direction and cut in the same fashion.
Shooting
There will be two lines of students, one at each elbow.
The first person in the right line will have a ball, while the
second person in the left line will have a ball. The first
20-25 person in the right line will pass to the first person in the
left line who will shoot. He/she will then get their own
rebound and pass it to the second person right line. The
person will the ball at the front of the left line will now
pass to the first person in the right line (who no longer
has a ball) who will shoot.
Contest
There will be one line of students at each sideline. In the
middle of the court will be a chair with a ball on it. When
I say go, the person at the front of each line will race to
try to get the ball. The person that gets the ball will try to
25-30 score, while the person who does not will try to defend.
You get one point if you score a basket.
Gameplay
Students will play 3 on 3. There will be two half court Closure:
games being played at once. SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

● Review all material
Objectives:
(P) Students will demonstrate good spacing and moving without the basketball (National #
S1.H1.L1)
(C) Students will discuss what their team needs to improve on and what they did well during
closure. (National # S1.H2.L1)

● Dribble skill cues SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
● Types of passes
● Rules T
● Names of spots on floor
● Offensive and defensive strategies
● History of basketball Activity 1:
I will do a thorough check for understanding as this
information will be on the post test. sssssss
19
Ball handling
Students will pair up. One partner will play defense, T
while the other will have the ball. The defender’s goal is
to knock the ball away from the offensive player, without sssssss
8-12 fouling. The offensive player should use his pivoting and
body positions to keep the ball away from the defender.
Dribbling
Students will form 3-5 lines on one sideline behind the
yellow cones. The first student in each line will have a
ball. There will be cone laid out in front of them. The first
12-16
student will dribble to half court and back weaving
through the cones. They will be practicing changing Closure:
direction with the basketball. They will then pass it to the SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
next person in line. The students will be asked to
perform different dribble moves when changing direction T
each time they go.
Passing
Students will form three lines on the sideline. The line in
the middle will have the balls. The student in the middle
16-20 will pass to one of the students on the outside. That
student will pass it back. The middle student will then
pass it the other way. They will do this while moving
down the court. Once they get to the other sideline, the
two people on the outside will become the offensive and
the middle person become the defender. They will play
out a 2 on 1 coming back the other way. Once they are
done, the next group will go.
Shooting
Students will split up evenly amongst the three hoops. At
20-25 each hoop, the students will line up around the paint like
they are lining up for a free throw. One student will shoot
two free throws. Then they will rotate clockwise so that
the next person is up to shoot.
Contest
25-30 Students will pair up. There will be hotspots spread out,
with the color of the hot spot representing a point total
(green=1, Blue=2, Yellow=3, Red=5). If you hit a shot
when standing on a hotspot, you get as many points as
that hotspot represents. Each team will get two minutes
to score as many points as possible.
Gameplay
30-48 games going on at once, if numbers will allow for it.
Closure:
What strategies or concepts (ie. spacing, movement) did
you implement well?
What strategies or concepts do you need to improve on?
How might the way you play change in a 5 on 5 full court
scenario, compared to 4 on 4 or 3 on 3? What strategies
End or concepts become more or less important?

● Review all material answer any questions students may have prior to the test
Objectives:
(P) Students will demonstrate proper shooting and dribbling techniques during gameplay.
(C) Students will complete a post test at the end of the class to see how much information they
retained from the unit. (National # S1.H2.L1)
Hand out post test.
4-8 Ball handling SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Students will each have a ball. They will spread out
along the baseline. They will practice different jab moves T
that I demonstrate.
Dribbling
8-12
The students will form two lines on the baseline, about
three feet to either side of the lane lines. There will be
four cones spread out down the court in front of each Activity 1:
line. The student will dribble up the court and make a
dribble move at each cone. He/she will then pull up for a sssssss
jump shot from about 15 feet. The student will then grab
their rebound and dribble the ball on the outside before T
21
12-16 passing it to the next person in line. Once the first

person in line gets to half court, the second person may sssssss
go.
Passing
This game is played like Ultimate Frisbee with students
having to bounce or chest pass the ball into the
16-20 opposing ‘end zone. No steps are allowed when a player
is holding the ball. With some classes their might be
three teams because no team should ever have more Closure:
than 7 people. The defense takes over posession if they SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
intercept a pass, or if a pass is dropped or bounces
more than once. T
Shooting
Students will play knockout in one or two groups,
20-25 depending on class size.
Contest
Students will be in two lines, each line is a team. It’s a
figure 8 relay race so one person will go down and back
at a time. They will be doing the no-dribble figure 8s that
25-30 they practiced, while moving. The first person to have
every team finishes wins.
Gameplay
30-48 games going on at once.
Closure:
What did the winning team do well that we could learn
from?
How can spacing impact your team’s offense?
What are some things your team could have done
better?

History
28
o Dr. James Naismith is known worldwide as the inventor of basketball.

O At YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, the sport of basketball was born.
o The first game was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals.
Description
o Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one
another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet high hoop under organized rules.
o Shooting the ball through the basket scores points, the team with more points at the end of the game wins.
o The ball can be advanced on the court by dribbling it or passing it between teammates.
o Disruptive physical contact is not permitted and there are restrictions on how the ball can be handled.
o The game is either played in four 8-minute quarters (high school), two 20-minutes halves (college), or four
12- minute quarters (professional).
o The game is initiated in the jump circle with a jump ball. A jump ball is when the referee throws the ball in
the air between the two opposing players. The two players attempt to tip the ball to another teammate.
Scoring
o Baskets made within the 3-point line are worth 2 points.
o Baskets made beyond the 3-point line are worth 3 points.
o Basket made from the free throw line given because of a foul are worth 1 point.
Fouls
o A foul is when a player breaks a rule of basketball while making physical contact with another player.
o If the player was fouled in the act of shooting, this results in the player taking free throw shots. The player
is awarded 1 shot if the basket was made during the foul, 2 shots if the basket was not made and was taken within
the 3-point line, and 3 shots if the basket was not made and the shot was taken from beyond the 3-point line.
o Players who are fouled not in the act of shooting typically receive the ball out of bounds at a location on the
court closest to the infraction.
o The most common fouls can be found in the “Key Terms” section of this handout
Positions
Although the rules do not specify any positions whatsoever, they have evolved as part of basketball. The following
are the basic 5 positions:
o Two Guards Two Forwards One Center
Shooting
The most common shot used is the jump shot.
o The jump shot is taken while in mid-air, near the top of the jump.
o This provides much greater power and range, and it also allows the player to elevate over the defender.
o Failure to release the ball before returning the feet to the ground is a traveling violation.
Another common shot is called the layup.
o This shot requires the player to be in motion toward the basket, and to "lay" the ball "up" and into the
basket, typically off the backboard.
Passing
The chest pass - The ball is passed directly from the passer's chest to the receiver's chest.
The bounce pass -Here, the passer bounces the ball crisply about two-thirds of the way from his own chest to the
receiver. The ball strikes the court and bounces up toward the receiver.
The overhead pass - is used to pass the ball over a defender. The ball is released while over the passer's head.
Key Terms
