o Slide to half and back and then baseline and back
5 min
o Carioca (crisscross – one foot in front one foot behind as turned
sideways) to baseline and back
This is the normal warm up routine so students will already have an idea of what

d. Other hand is supporting, but not holding the
ball on the side
e. Elbow should be lined up with the ball, not bent
out like a chicken wing
f. Bent elbow facing forward and tucking the ball
g. As you are shooting the ball, you are extending
all the way from your toes, to knees, to hips, to
elbow and be straight at the top, with your
whole body being extending straight up and on
your tippy toes
h. Wrist should flick at the end like you are
reaching into a cookie jar, aiming where you
want to shoot the ball
i. As you are shooting, you are looking at the
target, specifically the back of the rim

skills in basketball since it is a team sport. Passes
needs to have accuracy and power

i. One handed
ii. Both hands
Partner passing 1) Students will grab a partner and will line up across 8 min
from each other (entire class down two lines)
2) One partner grab a ball
3) We will practice each type of pass and techniques
4) Demonstrate each
5) Chest pass:
a. Two hands on the ball
b. Hold ball at your chest with elbows out and
hands on each side
c. As you pass, extend arms fully and flick wrists,
aiming where you want the ball to go
d. One step forward for more power
e. Step into the pass and to the target
6) Right/left handed pass
a. This pass is like a shot, but it comes from the
side of your body, rather than above the head
b. Other hand should be a support hand
c. Tuck the ball at your side
d. Step with the opposite foot

around a defender

Lakers and 1) Everyone needs a ball and a new partner
Warriors 2) Stand across from each other
3) When I call Lakers, one side will chest pass and the
other will bounce pass
4) When I call Warriors, vice versa
5) They should not be bouncing the ball after they catch a
pass
6) Practice this a few times before competition
7 min
7) Competition:
a. If you lose a pass, you and your partner sit
down
b. If you bounce when you are supposed to chest
pass, you sit down
8) Take time in between calls for students to gather
themselves
