January Grades 3-5

During the month of January students in grades 3-5 will participating in a Volleyball unit. Our unit will begin with the basic skills of bumping, setting and serving. Once these skills have been acquired and the students feel confident enough begin a game we then take the time to go through the rules of volleyball. We discuss positions, scoring, rotating, lines and various other basic aspects to the game. From there, students will spend the next 3 weeks playing games, while throughout we will stop periodically to review skills and rules to help students better feel comfortable with the game of volleyball!
