Agility Lesson Plan

Background Information
- 8th Grade Physical Education
- 49 minute class period
- 17 Students
- Class: 9:21am -10:10am

Goals and Rationale

- I want every student to have gained the concept of agility with different drills.
- This is important so students improve motor skills and so they have an increased
understanding of different types of foot speed and balance exercises.
Objectives
- Everyone will know how to perform different movements and footwork drills and be able
to apply that to a gym/workout place setting.
- Students will learn the mental toughness, fun, and hardwork it takes to workout and how
to deal with these different emotions.
P.E Standards
- Standard 3: Demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-
enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.
- Fitness Knowledge
- Designs and implements a warm-up/cooldown regimen for a self-selected
physical activity. (S3.12.8)

others.
- Personal Responsibility

and fitness. (S4.1.8)
- Standard 3: Demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-
enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.

- Employs a variety of appropriate static/dynamic-stretching techniques for
all major muscle groups. (S3.9.8)
Assessment Plans
- I will find out prior knowledge about this lesson by watching these students perform
agility workouts in previous weeks
- While working out, if my students give good to max effort they will receive full credit for
the day and if they are goofing off and giving minimal effort they will only receive half
credit. Students must stick out and will be talked to during the lesson that receive half
credit.
- I will know all my students met my learning objective by having them show me they can
do each basic agility exercise during the workout and stretching period.
