Teaching Points:
-
Only one defender can enter an offensive zone. The other two defenders
must remain within their zone, ready to intercept passes or rebounds.
-
Offense must complete three passes before proceeding to pass to
the other offensive zone.
-
Defender in offensive zone must attack ball carrier.
-
Offense must look to locate space to help support the ball carrier.
-
Shielding against the defender is a tactic students will begin to understand
because they are forced to protect the ball while the others are repositioning
themselves for support.
-
First-time passing is very effective in this game. Forces the defender
to readjust as quickly as the passes.
|
| Defense allowed only one within offensive zone, the remaining two must
stay within their zone, but try to intercept the pass from going into the
zone behind them. This game reemphasizes tactics and skills introduced
previously with the Triangle and Grid
Passing and Defending games. |

Organizational Points:
-
Make the two offensive zones of the same size but slightly smaller than
the defensive zone (middle zone).
-
Game requires 9 to 12 students. If a teacher uses four students per zone,
then the grid must be enlarged to accommodate more space and to limit possible
contact.
-
For the defense to rotate, they must do the following: regain possession
of the ball; intercept passes; if any offensive player passes out of bounds.
-
If any of these things occur, then the defense can switch with the team
who made the turn over.
-
For every successful pass to the other side, one point is awarded. The
ball must be passed to the other side and stopped in that zone in order
to receive a point.
-
If the ball is touched by the defense and still proceeds to the other side,
a point is still awarded.
-
This game forces the defense to play with intensity, because they can be
in the middle for a long period of time.
