Selection Method
Teams for this unit will be independently chosen by the teacher. There are a number of
factors that will be considered when selecting the teams. Some of those factors are: skill
level/fitness level, number of absences, and social factors (leaders/followers and students that
do not get along with each other). When selecting these teams friendship does not come into
play. It does not become a factor because the students should be able to come out of their
shells and meet new people in the class. Also, when putting the teams together based on the
students skill levels, the league will stay competitive. By selecting the teams the teacher will be
able to spilt up the students who are often absent so that if those students do not show up,
they will not all be on one team. Finally, each teams coach is one of the leaders in the class. On
each team, the teacher will try to have students that fulfill all the roles needed for that given
team, as well as spilt the students who do not get along to avoid confrontation. The class will be
spilt up into five teams of six students. By doing this, during the regular season, one team will
be available to keep track of statistics, scores, and will be able to referee the game.

passes then drops the ball They have to restart there counting. The faster the passes the more
catches they should have. At the end of the 2 minutes the most consecutive passes theyve
made is their score.
