ROWAN UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND EXERCISE SCIENCE

HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

|Teacher: Veronica Rhea |

|Unit Title; Lesson Title: Lacrosse |

|Duration of class:10 classes/ 40 minutes each Number of students: 24 Grade level: 9-10th grade |

SECTION A. (Overview)

|Unit Framework: |

|This is a lacrosse unit designed for 9-10th graders. Students will work in sport education teams that will be assigned to them the first day of class. Students |

|will remain in these sport education teams while learning skills and competing in competition. Students will learn how to pass, cradle, throw, shoot, defend and |

|offensive skill strategies. |

|Rationale (importance of lesson): |

|Lacrosse is a fairly new sport being introduced into physical education classes. Lacrosse is an aerobic activity that allows all students to be involved and |

|actively participating. Lacrosse is very similar to many of the other team sports that are introduced in physical education. |

|Previous experience in this activity: |

|At this age in schooling students have played similar team sports to lacrosse. Soccer and field hockey have similar rules and tactics as lacrosse. Although |

|lacrosse is a new sport being introduced into physical education classes, some students may have learned lacrosse skills from intramural and travel programs. |

| |

|Anticipated difficulties and how they will be addressed: |

| |

|Difficulty: Students will have trouble holding the stick properly to cradle. |

|Solution: Use tape to mark the sticks where students should hold it. |

| |

|Difficulty: A lacrosse ball may be too hard |

|Solution: play with a softer ball such as a tennis ball |

| |

|Difficulty: Students who already know how to play lacrosse and are stronger competitors |

|Solution: When playing games have a pass rule to make sure all students are all involved. |

| |

|Difficulty: Students having trouble learning the rules of lacrosse |

|Solution: Have students learn rules before playing and have them complete a cognitive assessment to check for understanding. |

|Resources, Equipment and Materials: |

| |

|Lacrosse sticks – 24 |

|Tennis balls – 24 |

|Mini pop up goals – 4 |

|Pinnies – 10 |

|Tape – 1 Roll |

|Poly spots – 24 |

|Cones – 24 |

|Student Characteristics |

|General abilities/ skill and proficiency level: |

|Students may be a little confused when lacrosse is introduced into physical education classes. Although lacrosse is going to be a new skill, students should have a|

|basic understanding of invasion sports. Students should have a basic understanding of what offensive and defensive responsibilities are. Many invasions sports such|

|as soccer, field hockey and basketball have the same idea as lacrosse. Lacrosse is a fast paced invasion sport that students should catch onto after the rules and |

|skills of the game are explained and practice time is provided. |

|Student background: |

|Students may not have the athletic or cognitive background to fully participate in lacrosse. Students should know the basic concept of passing, throwing and |

|shooting. Students not having any background in lacrosse may cause a problem in moving quickly through the lessons. |

|Time |Lesson Content, Procedures (management, transitions), & Instructional Strategies – Include introductory activities, learning focus activities, |

|Line: |culminating activity & closure |

| |Day 1: Developing Sport Education Teams / Introduce Cradling |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 15 minutes) introduction to sport education teams |

| |Divide students up into four groups of six members. Direct each group into a corner of the gym, where it will be their home throughout the unit of |

| |lacrosse. Students will then follow instructions on making a team name, poster, cheer and slogan. Asks students what they already know about lacrosse. |

| |Explain the rules and regulations of lacrosse. Outline the unit so students have understanding what they will be doing throughout the unit of lacrosse.|

| | |

| | |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: ( 10 minutes) Cradling without the ball |

| |Students will work in their homes with their sport education teams. They will read step by step directions from task cards that will be located at each|

| |sport educations homes. Students will read card and learn the proper grip, and the motion of cradling. Students will cradle in place without a ball and|

| |then begin to cradle on the move in their respected area. After students master the basic cradle, they will begin to start cradling at different |

| |levels. ( example: high then low) |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: ( 5 minutes) cradling with the ball |

| |Instruct one student from each sport education team to go get a tennis ball for each member of their group (5 tennis balls). Students will put the ball|

| |in their net of their lacrosse stick and begin to cradle with the ball in a stationary position. Student after two minutes will then begin to cradle on|

| |the move with the ball in their stick in their respected area for three minutes. |

| | |

| |Closure: ( 5 minutes) |

| |Instruct students to meet in the center of the court. Review what the students have learned today. Check for understanding and ask students to |

| |volunteer to demonstrate how to cradle a lacrosse ball. Tell the students what they will be doing the next time they meet. |

| | |

| |Day 2: Passing |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 10 minutes) Stationary Passing |

| |Have students go to their homes with their sport education teams. Have them organize themselves in groups of two. Have the students read off the task |

| |card how to pass a lacrosse ball. Have the students stand ten feet away from each other and begin to pass the ball back and forth. Balls will be |

| |already in the homes. |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: (10 minutes) Shuttle passing |

| |Have students work in their sport education teams. Students will line up 15 feet away from each other with each line having three people in it. |

| |Students will begin to pass the ball to the person across from them and follow their pass. This is called a shuttle pass. Students will continue to do |

| |this to work on accuracy of passing at a medium distance. The teacher will be walking around checking of students grip, form and follow through to make|

| |sure they are mastering the concept of passing. Students will be using their right hand for five minutes and then switch to their left hand for the |

| |next five minutes. |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: (10 minutes)shuttle passing timed |

| |Have students work in their sport education teams. Students will remain in their shuttle lines. Student will use their right hand only for two minutes |

| |and count how many passes they can make to the person across from them. Students will then rest for a minute and do the same thing with their left hand|

| |for two minutes. Students will be competing against the other groups to see who can get the most. |

| | |

| |Closure: (5 minutes) |

| |Ask students to meet in the middle of the gym. Go over the proper grip, form and follow through to pass a lacrosse ball. Check for understand from |

| |students. Introduce what students will be doing the next class. |

| | |

| |Day 3: Catching |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 10 minutes) Passing on the move |

| |Students will meet in their sport education teams. Students will pair up with a different partner then last class. They will begin to pass with their |

| |partner on the move staying in their respected area. This will introduce catching on the move and reinforce the skills they have learned about passing.|

| | |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: (10 minutes) Stationary Catching |

| |Students will work in their sport education team. Students will work with a partner about fifteen feet away from each other. Students will be passing |

| |the tennis ball back and forth to each other. The main focus is to catch the ball successfully. Students will have to keep their eye on the ball. When |

| |starting out the teacher should instruct the students to imagine that they are catching an egg, they have to be gentle and allow some give when |

| |catching the tennis ball. Second the teacher will instruct the students to go right into a cradle to protect the ball. After cradling three times the |

| |player will pass it back to their partner. |

| | |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: ( 12 minutes) Weave Drill |

| |The sport education teams will combine with one other sport education team creating two teams. One team will start on the one end line of the gym and |

| |the other team on the opposite side. There will be three lines, students will even out lines and the person in the middle will start with the ball. The|

| |person in the middle will pass to their left and follow their pass, the person on the left will then pass to the person on the right and follow their |

| |pass. This will create a weaving pattern. Each group will stay on their side of the gym and weave back after they have reached half court. |

| |Closure: ( 3 minutes) |

| |Instruct students to meet in the middle of the court. Check for understand on the proper way to catch the tennis ball. Introduce what students will be |

| |learning next class. |

| | |

| |Day 4: Shooting |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 10 minutes) Passing and Cradling on the Move |

| |Students will work in their sport education teams. Students will get into shuttle lines and have to cradle the ball five times on the move before |

| |passing to their partner. Students will be using their right and their left hand throughout this activity. Students will only need one ball per sport |

| |education team. The students will be twenty feet away from each other. |

| | |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: ( 10 minutes) Rapid fire shooting |

| |Before the lesson begins the teacher will demonstrate and bounce shot and a regular air shot. Students will combine sport education teams creating two |

| |groups. One group will be at the one side of the gym and the other group will be on the opposite side of the gym. Each student will have a tennis ball |

| |in their stick. Student will create a semi circle facing the net. The net will be on the end line of the basketball court. Starting on the right side,|

| |the first student will take two cradles and then a shot at an open net. After the first student goes the next will go and so on. Students will be using|

| |two different types of shots. They will work on bounce shots and regular in the air shots. The teacher will be walking around to make sure that the |

| |students are snapping their wrist and following through properly to get a good shot off. |

| |Culminating activity: (10 minutes)3v3 shooting |

| |Students will remain in the two combined sport education teams at opposite sides of the gym. Nets will be set up at the end line of the basketball |

| |court. Students will create three lines at the half court mark. Students will pass and move the lacrosse ball down the court a minimum of four times |

| |before they are to take a shot on the goal. Students can use ether the bounce shot or the in the air regular shot. After five minutes, the teacher can |

| |add defenders that cannot steal the ball and play “dummy” defense. |

| | |

| |Closure: ( 5 minutes) |

| |Gather students in the middle of the court. Ask students to demonstrate how to do a bounce shot and how to do a regular in the air shot. Introduce to |

| |students what they will be doing next class. |

| |one partner making a bridge with their body. (Hold stick in their right hand on the end of the shaft, have the head of the stick on the ground with |

| |their arm fully extended and their body the other side of the bridge.) Place the tennis ball on the ground in the middle of the bridge students will |

| |have to get low and scoop the ball up from the ground. They will do this for five minutes each. |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: (10 minutes) Shuttle line ground balls timed |

| |Students will work in their sport education teams and organize into shuttle lines. Students will roll the ball across the court to the next person in |

| |the shuttle line. Students will have two minutes to warm up. Students will then have four minutes to see how many ground balls they can scoop up with |

| |their right hand in the shuttle lines. Then students will have four minutes to see how many balls they can scoop up with their left hand. Students will|

| |be competing against the other sport education teams. |

| | |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 10 minutes) 3v.3 |

| |Students will work in the combined sport education teams creating two teams. Each team will be on opposite sides of the gym with the nets on the end |

| |line. Three students will be defenders and then three will be offensive players. The defensive players will play “dummy” defense. Offensive players |

| |will have to complete a minimum of five passes before shooting the ball. Students will use a combination of bounce shots and in the air regular shots. |

| |Students will rotate from offence to defense. |

| | |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: ( 10 minutes) Offensive Tactics |

| |Students will remain working in their combined sport education teams creating two groups on opposite sides of the gym. Students will set up six |

| |offensive players in a semi circle about twenty feet from the net, defensive players will be man marking each offensive player but playing “dummy |

| |defense”. The offensive team will first start out just moving the ball around the semi circle to complete the play called motion. Students will be |

| |constantly moving during this, switching with the person next to them or following their pass. After students master motion, I will instruct the |

| |students to move onto a more difficult play. Students will begin to set pics for other players to become free to cut to the net to receive passes. They|

| |key to this lesson is constant movement from the offensive players and constant communication. |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: ( 10 minutes) 6v.6 |

| |Students will remain in their combined sport education teams on opposite sides of the court with the net on the end line of the basketball court. |

| |Students will set up in a six vs. six offence and defense. Defensive players will be able to try and steal the ball on a pass only. The offensive team |

| |will try and move the ball quickly around. They will be setting pic’s, rotating positions and cutting hard off the ball. Offensive students will have |

| |to have a minimum of six good passes before they are able to take a shot on the net. |

| | |

| |Closure: (5 minutes) |

| |Gather students in the middle of the court. Ask students questions about the offensive tactics they learned to check for understanding. Explain to |

| |students what to expect for the next class. |

| | |

| |Day 7: Defense |

| | |

| |Opening Activity: ( 10 minutes) Weave passing with a shot |

| |Students will work in their combined sport education teams creating two teams total and have them on opposite sides of the gym. Students will get into |

| |three times at the center line of the basketball court facing their own net which will be on the end line of the basketball court. Students will begin |

| |to do the weave pattern all the way to the net and then take a shot. Have students take turns volunteering to be the goalie. Students will rotate |

| |lines. The person in the middle always will start with the ball. Three tennis balls are needed for this activity. |

| | |

| |Fitness Activity: See Appendix 1 ( 5 minutes) |

| | |

| |Learning focus activity: ( 10 minutes) Defensive Formation |

| |Students will remain in their combined sport education teams on opposite sides of the gym with the nets on the end line of the basketball court. |

| |Students will organize themselves so there are six players on offence and six players on defense on each side of the gym. The defensive team will be |

| |marking the offensive team man to man. They will be in an athletic position facing their player, being able to see the ball and they net all at the |

| |same time (being goal side). The defensive players will also be working on keeping their stick up in the air to be ready to intercept a pass at |

| |anytime. The offensive team is not trying to go to the net and score a goal, rather just passing and moving to see if the defense can intercept the |

| |ball. For safety reasons teachers are not going to allow checking of the sticks. Students will play five minutes at offense and five minutes of |

| |defense. |

| | |

| | |

| |Culminating activity: (10 minutes) full court 6v.6 |

| |Have students work in their sport education teams. Have two teams on the court at a time while the other two teams observe play. Have the students play|

| |a full court game. Students are playing real defense and real offence. Students should be playing man to man coverage, having sticks in the air ready, |

| |cutting hard to the net, passing and cradling the ball. Each team will get to play a five minute game. |

| | |

| |Closure: (5 minutes) |

| |Have students meet in the center of the gym. Ask questions to students on how you properly defend and offensive player. Check for understanding by |

| |having students demonstrate. Introduce what students are going to be learning next class. |

| |

|Flexibility BY Deisy Maguire |

| |

|Upper Body |

|• Shoulder Stretch- Have students standing up with their arms above their head, put left elbow behind head while right hand grabs on to left elbow. They need to |

|maintain standing straight, and should feel the stretch in their left shoulder and triceps. Repeat this twice and have them switch their left and right side. |

|• Shoulder and Chest- Give students a choice of performing this exercise while kneeling or standing. Clasp hands behind back and straighten arms. Have them raise |

|their hands as high as possible and bend forward from the waist and hold for about 5-7 seconds. Repeat this 3 times. |

|• Forearm Stretch- With arms in front of them, with right arm supinated, left hand has to pull the fingers on the right hand back, towards the elbow. |

| |

|Lower Body |

|• Dog Stretch- Demonstrate before having students down on the floor like a standing dog. Raise your head, lower your arms, then arch your back and hold the |

|position for a couple of seconds. After demonstrating, have them do this stretch for 5 seconds on and 5 off, 10 times. |

|• Knee to Chest- With students on their backs, have them pull one of their thighs towards them. Interlock fingers behind thigh and pull towards the chest. Hold for|

|15 seconds and switch sides. |

|• The Butt Stretch (Hollywood’s) - In a sitting position with both legs out in front, instructs students to place their right foot flat on the outside of their |

|left knee. With the right knee bent, bring left arms across the body and rest against the quad. |

|• Standing Quad Stretch- Standing on one leg, with the class, grabs on to the bottom of the opposite leg and pull heel into the glute while pushing hips out. |

|• Groin Stretch- Sitting down make sure students have enough space around, they need to bring the soles of their feet together. Also known as the butterfly |

|stretch. |

| |

|Back |

|• Toe Touch- Students should be standing up straight, with their arms out in front of them. Without over stretching their back and not bending their knees, they |

|should try to touch their toes. Most of them will not reach but with time, they eventually will increase their flexibility to become able to. This exercise can be |

|done with their stick. |

| |

| |

|Core |

|• Core stretch- While lying on their backs, with arms spread out, finger tips pointing to the left and right of the body; while their lower back stays flat on the |

|floor. Knees together, they need to slowly bring both legs to their right as they can feel the stretch in their core. Switch sides |

| |

|Cardiovascular by Nicholas Corvine: |

| |

|1. Tell students to each a have stick, a partner, and one ball between the two of them.  Have them run a few laps while cradling the ball in their stick.  After |

|five cradles they pass it to their partner who is running next to them, about five to seven feet apart.  |

|2. Tell students to each a have stick, a partner, and one ball between the two of them.  They will run a few laps.  While running they will roll the ball take |

|three to five steps and then scoop the ball up.  Once they do this they pass the ball to their partner who will do the same thing.   |
