Title - Four Steps to a Successful Overhand Throw
By - Jason Moody
Primary Subject - Health / Physical Education
Grade Level - K-5
Standards Addressed:
General Goal(s): The student will demonstrate a correct overhand throw.
Objectives: Observe the steps to a good throw:
1. Side to Target
2. Weight on back foot with arm in a "Lazy L" shape
3. Transfer weight to front food with good step and waist rotation (keep arm back)
4. Follow through
Required Materials: - milk crates,
- tennis balls (5+ per student is best),
- table/bleachers (anything that the crate can stand on and get knocked off of)
Activity: It is important to require the students to throw hard to get the correct form. To do this, you need an activity that requires less accuracy and more power.
Step-By-Step Procedures to Activity: - Divide the class into equal teams of 3-5 students.
- In relay form, have the students face a milk crate.
- Each person in the front of the line throws a tennis ball as hard as possible at the crate to knock if off the table. Set the students about 5-20 feet away ( 5 feet for Kindergarten, 20 feet for 5th graders).
- Each time a crate is knocked off the table, have the student that knocked it off set it back up and record a point on a board. The student can retrieve any ball that is scattered on the gym floor or get a new one if the ball they threw did not return to them. This keeps students away from the other throwers.
Conclusion: The students love this simple game. It is easy to set up, and the students throw hard and get plenty of throws.
Assessment: Teacher Observation (check sheet with four keys to successful throw)
