Balance ball on some part of the body (palm of hand, head, etc.) and move from one position to another; (ie... from seated to standing, from standing to walking). Move ball around legs in a Figure 8 pattern. Move ball in a forward stride position with one leg in front of the other. Bounce ball and catch. Bounce ball, clap hands and catch.

Diagnostic Assessment: Once balls are distributed, allow students time to experiement with handling the Team Hand"ball" (within their own space), and take assessment of students' familiarity with ballhandling and level of ballhandling ability. Formative Assessment: Are students getting to the most difficult of each task's variations, or are they spending alot of time on the original task presented? Summative Assessment: Can students successfully put together their own pattern of the tasks presented? Can they come up with their own variations of them?
