Organizational Strategies
 
 
1) Equipment:
    All equipment used should be laid out and organized before class and any cones for drills should be placed in their desired positions. Students will have easy access to all equipment this way and it ensures that they gather it all in an orderly manner. Students are not to touch any of the equipment unless desired to do so.

2) Teaching Space:

    The field can be divided into many grids for drills or games. Gym can be separated to do many drills or one large game. Having two or more smaller games in the gym would result in an overcrowding of students in one area and some participants will not touch the ball. The field is better as it is much larger and can accomodate many games or drills.

3) Teacher Positioning:

    The teacher should start with an authoritative position in the class where he can view all students and make sure that they are all paying attention. During drills, the teacher should walk around and always give out feedback to develop the drills even more. The instructor should be the one to demonstrate skills and should have all students paying attention when he does so.

4) Organizational tricks:

    The teacher should be the one to make the groups of students as to not exclude anyone. he should designate one student to find an area to do the drill, one to get a pinnie, one to get a ball, and one to set up the cones. By giving all the students a job, they then 'OWN' the drill and would be more inclined to practice it more proficiently. By the end of class, each grouping should have one student who is responsible for cleaning up the drill, whether that be picking up the cones or returning pinnies, so that the teacher doesn't have to and can focus on dismissing the class.
