Overview of Team Handball Unit
A. Topic: Team Handball
Skill Themes: Jumping and Landing, Throwing, Dribbling, Catching,
Balance, Weight Transfer

B. Rationale: Junior High to Senior High students will want to learn about Team Handball because it is a sport that is unfamiliar to the majority of the American public. This unit will be a positive & refreshing change to the regular units that students experience nearly every year in Junior and Senior High physical education class (ie. Basketball, Softball, Kickball, etc.).

C. Unit Goal: Students will combined the skill themes required and utilize strategies from other sports instructed upon in the past (mainly basketball and soccer), to develop a foundation in Team Handball. This foundation will provide students with a better understanding and ultimately a link with sport in other cultures. This experience will also help promote the support and growth of Team Handball in our country.
