The students will line up into four separate lines. Lines 1 and lines 3 will be a team and lines 2 and lines 4 will be a team. The first four players up will then be asked to face the wall so they cannot see the goal or me. There will be a goal on the other side of the gym. After they are facing the opposite direction I will then throw the ball somewhere in the gym without them knowing where. I will then blow my whistle to imply for them to begin the race. The first one to the ball must scoop it up and begin to cradle. The team must also make one completed pass before attempting to shoot. The two who did not get the ball first must defend and try to stop them from scoring. The first team to make the one pass, and show me proper forms of cradling and throwing and catching, then the goal will win the point for their team.

Statement/ reminder:
This lead up game will use and focus on all the 5 days of lessons I have done.
