Team Handball After Lunch

Another thing we can try to do with the tardy boys is to have them wait the longest to play.

Good spacing also with this group. They really get excited to play this game!

Continue to strive to get the students playing as rapidly as possible at the beginning of class. The transition time between games was very good today.

I heard you encourage the players to keep their spacing, which is great.

PICKLEBALL Last Period

Try and get the students out sooner. I was out of earshot, so I'm not quite sure what was addressed to the class.

This class is playing so much better.  Maybe you gave them a pep talk?

You use your whistle judicially.  That is important and a lot of new teachers go crazy with the whistle.  Of course, the students turn it out after awhile.

Great idea to have some of the students dribble the ball during warm-ups. If you can pull that off, great. Unfortunately, in practice as you found out, the dribble ball becomes the shot or thrown ball.

You did a great job getting the game going quickly.

The students that are not playing shouldn't have access to the equipment. I'd put behind the opposite bleacher.

When students ask you a  question in close quarters, if it's relevent to the whole class, repeat the question.

I like the rule adjustment where the students can go inside the three point line, unless they're shooting. That was a good adjustment for this period.

Two girls in particular, were yoked and should be separated. I'm sure you gave them positions.

2nd Day Team Handball

As long as we have enough, I really like the idea of the stand up mats.

Loved how you put out the pinnies for the students, which I need to get better at. What really impressed me is how you put them into the positions and put the players into the positions, giving the a better understanding of their role and space within which they work.

Be careful when students are sitting in the line of fire behind the goal. Students should have strict parameters about where they sit.

Team Handball 3rd session

Liked the intro to the warm-up. Concise is best.

Surprised that this class would be the one where the boys were shooting baskets with the handball.

If game is stale, shake up the lineups, as you eventually did.

Although we don't have a strict clock for PE team handball, keep the students moving during game. 

If they are bunched up, have them freeze and move them to various strategic locations.

Team Handball, first day of teaching

Pretty good job of getting students in teams and organized for the lead up.

I'm sure you saw pretty quick that with end line team handball, it'd be a good idea to not let the students dribble to the end line. Instead they should pass.

If kids get bunched , don't be afraid to stop and freeze them, so they can be aware of positioning.

Always a good idea to stop game and reset expectations or rules, which you did here.

As I've found out, make sure the students pick someone to guard, with the caveat that they don't necessarily have to guard the same person that is guarding them.

Sometimes, a minimum pass requirement will help with the flow of the game. Caution should be taken against students who will pass the ball to another from a minimal distance.

Good job with both classes for pulling the kids in for a closure.
