Lesson
#18
1.Objectives:
A.Student:
1.By
the end of class, the students will be able to demonstrate the correct
way to block a shot from an opposing hitter.
a.ìFront
the hitterî
= Find the hitter and stand in front of them, going where they go, waiting
for an opportunity to block their shot.
b.ìJump
on the arm swing of the hitterî =
Do not jump too early. Wait for the hitter to start their arm swing before
jumping.
c.ìPress
to center courtî =
Limit the hitterís options. Force their shots to the center of the court,
where your teammates will be for the ball in case you miss the block or
tip the ball.
B.Teacher:
2.The
teacher will establish a safe learning environment by providing protocols
and boundaries during all activities.
2.Instant
Activity:
·Purpose:
This activity is to warm up the studentís legs while using the movement
skill they will be using during the lessonójumping.
·Description:
Before students
arrive for class, spread out individual jump ropes (of different lengths)
throughout the playing area. As soon as the students arrive, have them
find a jump rope. When the teacher says, ìgoî the students can jump in
any fashion that they choose.For
example, they could make shapes with the rope on the floor and practice
jumping in and out of the rope, or they can jump in the original way by
turning it over their head. They may also jump with partners and make routines.
3.Set
Induction: The
last couple of days we have been playing volleyball.We
have been practicing multiple offensive attacks as well as defensive positioning.A
good defense relies a lot on the ability of the players to talk and position
themselves.However, during the
actual volleyball game, what do you believe the first line of defense against
an attack is? (Studentís response: the block) Thatís right. The defense
starts with the blockers. Today we are going to practice blocking shots
and using our body placement to force the hitters to hit the ball towards
the center of the court.

Practice: In
your group of 3 number off 1-3, so that each individual has a assigned
number of either 1, 2, or 3. I want the teams to stay on the same courts
and practice with their game opponents.The
teams that finished on offense will begin on offense during the practice
time. The offensive team will have their number 1 begin as the right side
hitter, number 2 begin as the setter, and number 3 begin as the left side
hitter. After each hitter has hit 3 shots, the players will rotate from
right side hitter to setter, setter to left side hitter, and left side
hitter to right side hitter. The teams that begin on defense will have
their number 1 begin as the left side hitter, number 2 begin as the right
side hitter, and number 3 begin as the retriever.The
defense will rotate from left side hitter to right side hitter, right side
hitter to retriever, and retriever to left side hitter. The setter will
toss the ball high outside for the hitter to hit or spike and the blocker
will attempt to block their shots.
|

|
·Keep
the students in their groups of 3.
·Have
two teams demonstrate both the offensive and defensive roles and how to
rotate.
·Place
to volleyballs on each court.
·Refer
to the Practice Diagram. |
·I
want the blockers to practice jumping with both of their arms stretched
high in front of the hitter.
·I
want the blockers to practice setting up slightly outside of the hitter
and practice preventing shots down the line.You
want to force the hitter to hit the ball to the center of the court where
your teammates are.
|
·Front
the hitter.Find
the hitter and stand in front of them, going where they go, awaiting an
opportunity to block their shot.
·Jump
on the arm swing of the hitter.Donít
jump too early. Wait for the hitter to start their arm swing before jumping.
·Press
to center court.You
want to limit the hitterís options. Force their shots to the center of
the court, where your teammates will be in case you miss the block or tip
the ball.
|
·See
if the blockers can prevent 3 straight hits from going past them without
either being tipped or blocked.
|
|
|
·ìHuddle
up!î Gather the students around the teacher in a semi-circle.
|
Questions:
·Q:
Why would you want to wait for the hitter to begin their arm swing before
jumping.
·A: So that you are at your peak height when the hitter is attempting their shot. ·Q: Why would you want to force the hitter to hit a shot towards the center of the court? ·A:
In case you do not block the shot, the majority of your teammates are around
the center of the court and will be waiting for and shots that get past
the blocker. |
