Activity One- Gameplay
Because the focus of this lesson is gameplay, the teacher will allow the students to play 6 minute games. Once the six minutes are completed, the teams will all jog into the middle court to report their scores, listen for the new extension (the teacher will demonstrate the rule if needed), and find out where they are playing next.
Extension for game 1: No Extension
Extension for game 2: Teams must use all three hits before returning the ball over the net.
Extension for game 3: You can not touch the ball more than once per volley. (The student who bumps it can not spike it)
Extension for game 4: Teams receive 2 points for every attack (spike). Spikes must be overhand, and underhand OR side armed
Extension for game 5: The team that is LOSING gets one extra hit per side (4 hits instead of 3) If its tied, both teams get 3.
