28-May 2, 1997
Directions: Have students form into groups of
three/four. The groups then need to choose a ball they would like to volley
between them. After they find a good safe playing space in the activity
area they are to have one student start the activity either by volleying or
tossing the ball to another group member. From then on their task is to try
to keep the ball in the air. They must use either bumping or setting
skills that they have previously practiced in class. Students can hit the
ball twice in a row if they want. If the ball hits the floor they start
again.
