Volume 2, Issue 7 Tip of the Month (Grades K - 2) To help students maintain control when practicing volleying, balloons are used as opposed to beach or volleyballs. The balloons serve as a great way for students to develop their object manipulative skills as well as improve their tracking abilities. Balloons allow for the student to focus on obtaining skills such as the forearm pass and overhead set, that are essential in the sport of volleyball. Working with balloons students can turn their attention to keeping their arms flat and hitting underneath the balloons. Volleying allows students to work on movements that are present in other activities that utilize a throwing motion. Standing sideways to a target, following through towards, and tracking an object are all present in throwing activities. Tip of the Month (Grades 3 - 4) Working with beach balls, 3rd and 4th graders have been practicing the forearm pass and overhead set. The flight of a beach ball closely resembles that of a volley ball but allows extra time for students to focus on executing the correct cues for the skills. Forearm Pass Cues: - Big Hands - “I don’t know!” Overhead Set Cues: - Triangle Hands - Giraffe Arms Enders Road PE Newsletter Practicing these motor skills will help the 3rd grade students in the PE Central Challenge as 4th graders. PE Central Volley Up Challenge (www.pecentral.org) Three children stand in a triangle three giant steps from each other. The challenge is to volley a ball 10 times in a row without the ball hitting the ground. Each child must contact (volley) the ball at least twice but may not strike it twice in a row.
