Instant Activity: Dribbling drill students
will partner up and stand on homebase
(sideline). Spread out, students will
dribble, switch hands, and maintain
control of the basketball to the other
sideline. Students will dribble back
towards the other sideline and perform a
pass about 5-10 feet away (from the
proximal lane line) to their partner. The
partner will perform the same routine,
dribbling to the other side and back,
passing it to the other student. The
importance of this activity is to maintain
control of the basketball while switching
hands (crossing over). The student may
perform any pass learned prior like chest

pass, bounce pass, and overhead pass.



Set Induction:
This week, we have went over the main
parts of offense in basketball. What are
they? (Dribbling, passing, and shooting).
Why would it be important to learn these
skills in basketball?

Purpose:
Basketball is one of the most popular
playground sports. Basketball helps with
balance, coordination, and other motor
abilities that can develop skills in other
games or activities. When one gets into a
triple threat position, there are 3 options
on the offensive side: dribbling, passing,
and shooting.

by 1s and 2s to get
into teams.

because students must
demonstrate the knowledge of
basketball skills like the

to refine it.

Transition
Students will return to homebase, sit
down, and wait for further instructions.

10 min. Lesson Core - Task 1:
Offensive skills relay There will be
teams, each respectively in a line on the
right side on the half-court line facing
their basket. The first student in line will
dribble towards the basket and shoot the
ball. A make is one point while a miss is
zero points. Each student has one chance
to score. That student will grab his/her
own rebound, dribble, and pass to the
next student in line. The first student will

Standards I-V because students
are in an activity that combines
all 3 offensive skills learned
during the week and applying it
in a team competition game.

get in back of the line. The second student
will perform the same activity. Each
student will have an opportunity to
perform this activity. When a team
reaches 10 points, all students on that
team must sit down to indicate theyve
met the objective. At the end of the
game, each team will get in line, face each
other, and give high fives.

Demonstration Plan:
I will face the basket and start at the right
side of the half court line. I will dribble
towards the basket and get as close as
possible so I have the highest chance of
scoring. I will have another student in line
to pass it to.

Questions to Check Understanding
Where should your hands be when
shooting a basketball? One hand behind
the ball and one hand on the side of the
ball.
How many chances do you get to shoot
the basketball? One.

Adaptations
Regression: Students have 2 or 3 chances
to score.
Progression: Students must shoot from a
designated spot.

After the activity, students will sit at
homebase and wait for further

Closure
I will review the three main offensive
options in basketball: dribbling, passing,
and shooting. I will ask the students what
the cues are for each one and I will have
them demonstrate. I will introduce the
