Basketball: Inside the Arc

Teams: 20 students in a class. The teams will be a 5 v 5 games, students will be divided by
skill level, Advanced or Intermediate. The teacher will divide the teams evenly. But, there will be
three on each team playing at a time, while the other two players are outside the arc.

Positions: There will be 3 offensive and 3 defensive players inside the arc, with 2 players from
each team outside the arc. The offensive players can decide who wants to be point guard,
shooting guard, and forward. The defensive players can decide who they want to cover in a
person to person defensive scheme. The 4 players on the outside can be used as players to
pass to find open space for their team.

Facilities: One basketball court, using the two halves of the court, and both arcs.
Equipment: 2 regular sized basketballs, 10 pinnies (one team per court can wear them), 2
regulation hoops.

Rules:

Students MUST shoot the ball inside of the arc.

Students switch positions every 3 minutes.
The team must pass the ball 3 times before shooting
The outside the arc players count as a pass.
2 points for a shot outside of the paint.
1 point for a shot inside the paint.
Defenders must keep their hands to themselves, follows same foul rules.
No free throws, team that was fouled gets ball at the top of the key
All plays start at the top of the Key.
No throw-ins on out of bounds, goes to top of the key
Rocks, paper, scissors for ball first.
After a team scores, team who doesn't score will get ball.

Safety: Since it is a tight space, eyes need to be up to be careful of running into each other.
Students need to keep their hands to themselves while playing defense. Students need to be
careful when a ball rolls on the other court, call for stoppage of play so no one gets hurt.

Extension Up: Students can incorporate more passes (ie. 4 or 5). If it is too easy for a student
at the intermediate level they can move into the advanced game. They can eliminate the shot in
the paint.

Extension Down: Students can require less passes (ie. 1 or 2, or non at all). Student who are
struggling in the advanced level can move to intermediate. They can have one required pass to
an outside player to help generate open space.

Outcomes: Students will be able to have improved their competency of two skills of basketball,
shooting and passing. They will have many opportunities to use a two point shot since there are
no three point shots allowed. Also, work on finding open space and being able to perform a pass
into open space. Students will also learn the importance of communication in strategy in a team
setting.

Lacrosse: Ultimate Lax

Teams: This will be a class of 20 students, consisting of 4 teams with 5 players on each. The

of low intensity.

Positions: There are no set positions. The only set positions are offense and defense.
Facilities: Two halves of a soccer field.
Equipment: 4 Lacrosse nets, 2 tennis balls, 20 lacrosse sticks, 10 pinnies, 16 hot spots
Rules:
Person with the ball can only take three steps and then must either pass or
shoot.

Tennis ball will be used NOT a lacrosse ball.

Safety: Students need to stay out of the shooting crease, so they will not be hit by a ball in the
crease. The student catching the ball needs to be paying attention so they do not get hit by the
ball. There is no contact, should contact occur they will be sent to the penalty box for a minute.

14

Extension Up: Students can limit the amount of steps they take by taking 1 or 2. Or, you can
really challenge by saying they can not take any steps after catching the ball.

Extension Down: Students may take 4-6 steps after receiving a pass. Also, you can limit the
amount of passes required before shooting.

Outcomes: Students will display proper etiquette and following the rules by not making contact
with the other players, should the rule be broken they will learn consequences by being placed
in the penalty box for a minute. Students can use communication to come up with a strategy to
move the ball down field since they have limitations on how much they can move.
