Simon says. Teacher will incorporate
Locomotor movements and defensive type
movements (side steps, back peddle,

Set Induction:

defense? When in the defensive stance you
want to be low, ready to move and light on
your feet. You want to spread your arms
so you can steal the ball from your
opponent.
Purpose:

base to one of three lanes. They will go to
the lanes marked by the cones and put on
