Sample Activities:

 

·        KEEP AWAY - Divide the class into groups of five or six students. Four students participate in a game of “Keep Away.” The object of the game is to maintain possession of the ball using fakes, quick passes, and limited dribbling. The remaining students become observers. Each observer selects one player and focuses on his/her skills during the game. After all group members have played and observed, discuss the use of strategy and brainstorm a list of moves used in each of the games.
 

 

Variation: Using a three vs. one formation, adapt the activity for soccer, basketball, or hockey.
