SPEEDBALL
We will spend the first few minutes of class reviewing overhand
throwing and catching.
The class will be divided into two teams and the rules of play will
be discussed.
The focus of this class is shooting. We are shooting in three
different ways during this class. What are the different ways?

What is considered a good shot? Where should I aim? How can I

make the goalie move and create space for my shot?

7. Teams may score by throwing for a touchdown like in football, kicking a
field goal like in soccer, or shooting a basket in basketball
Scoring

and across the goal line)

anywhere across the goalline like football)
