7 8 Guiding Defense Offensive Strategies Review Shooting, Passing, Catching, Throwing Review offense and defense two teams, and put into two lines facing the goal. I will roll a ball out towards the goal, and the two players at the front of the line will run out and try to get to ball. Whichever player gets the ball becomes the offense and tries to score, and the other player becomes the defender. Culminating Activity -Extreme Lacrosse: This is played with the regular lacrosse rules but with more goals. After the game starts, goals are gradually taken away forcing students to think more and more about offensive strategies that work best. Culminating Activity -Pass for points: 4 on 4; Players must pass at least 4 times before they can shoot the ball, and defense must be working on guiding, and keeping personal space.

end of their lines. At the end of the game, teams will add their points together from both nets to figure out who “wins”. Boundaries are marked by cones. Extensions: Extend or reduce boundaries. Having the first two pairs run out at the same time, the first pair goes for the ball, the second pair being there to pass to. We will give feedback for things we see going well or things that can/should be corrected. Refinements: See “extensions.” Culminating Activity/Game: Steal the Bacon We will keep the same teams for this game as we had in the last. Each team will be numbered off one through six. The students will then line up across the field from their same number. In the center of the field will be the ball, and a net at each end zone. The students will then run to the middle of the field when their number is called. The students in the middle will try to scoop up the ball and score at their teams’ designated net. Once the ball is scooped, more numbers will be called out, allowing more players to get involved. The players in the field may pass to the remaining players on the sidelines for help. One point is awarded to whichever team scores the goal. After the point is made, play will be stopped and players return to the sideline for the beginning of the next round. Extensions: Field length. Only having one set of numbers going out at a time. T X X X X X X X X X X X X T We will continue to make sure students are keeping their “bubble.” We will be listening for students calling out other students’ names. We will make sure that students are paying attention for their number being called. Refinement: See “extensions.”
