Instant Activity Directions for Today

Volleying Practice

"To get started today you are going to practice the volleying skills that we have been working on in previous classes. Do your best because I am going to be roaming around assessing how well you are doing with your bumping skills.

Find a partner, pick up a ball that suits both of you, and then find a good self space.
Practice bumping the ball back and forth to each other.
See how many in a row you can get without the ball falling to the floor.
If you prefer to have one person tossing and the other bumping back to you that is fine. Feel free to allow a bounce in between bumps."

Teaching Tips

Use the Cue Checklist Sheet in the Assessment Idea Area of PE Central to assess your students skills.

Idea for writing directions on the board/easel was submitted by Christine Hopple who teaches PE at Crystal Springs Elementary School in Roanoke, VA. Volleying activity submitted by Mark Manross who is a doctoral student in the Health and PE Program at Virginia Tech. Thanks for contributing to PE Central!
