1) Equipment

• Equipment Available for Use

                - Roughly 20 'hat' cones (#s change due to multiple PE classes going on at once)

                - Pinnies to separate students into teams

                - 12 flag posts to make six goals on three fields playing across the standard field.

• Organization of Equipment

                - Equipment is brought out at the beginning of the first PE class of the day and                

                   equipment remains there all day except at lunch hour when the soccer balls,

                   pinnies and 'hat' cones are brought back to the equipment room.

                - Balls are to be placed back into the ball container when not in use and pinnies are to be    

                   returned to the pinnie loop when they are finished with.

                - Cones positioning will vary based on the drill/activity to be performed.

                -  Students are assigned jobs as to who collects the pinnies and collects loose cones at the

                   end of class.
               

2) Procedures

• Set routines to start and finish class:

                -  Students get into groups of four and begin a lap of field passing ball between them

                    immediately after they have left the change room.

                -  Students then perform their shuttle drill and juggling practicing.

                -  At the end of class, a student is elected by teacher to put gather all loose cones and balls

                   while another student is in charge of collecting the pinnies.

               -  Students are gathered at the goal line and given a quick wrap up talk before being

                   released to the change rooms to get ready for their next class.

3) Groupings and Transitions

• Groupings needed for block plan

                  -  The class is divided into three different groups of roughly 10 boys.

                -  Groups 1 and 2 will be both be playing a cross-field games while group 3 gets instruction

                   and after 10 minutes, groups rotate so that each group receives tactical instruction.

               -  During the instruction, students will be grouped into arrangements of 2s, 3s, and 4s for

                   the majority of the time.  This emphasizes small groups and teamwork.
 
 

• Grouping and transition procedures

                -  The teacher will indicate when transition from play to instruction should occur

                -  For partner work in pairs -- find a partner and number yourselves 1 and 2 

                            -- person 1 gets to go and get a ball while person 2 has a different task such as       

                               finding an open space on the field for their pair to play

                           -- make sure that students use different partners so that they get used to playing

                               with a wide variety of skilled people.

                 - For groups of 3 -- students will number themselves off and each player will be given a

                    specific task according to his number (tasks given by teacher).

4) Class Rules

• Gym strip mandatory - failure to come to class with gym strip and no doctors note more than once results in after school  detention with the teacher. 
• No foul or inappropriate language to be used in class - this results in a lap around track and further use of foul language results in detention after school. 
• When the whistle blows, all play is stopped immediately and attention is given to the teacher.
• Only constructive criticism is allowed
• Participation and fair play are both strongly encouraged

5) Support Materials

• May be an idea to bring in guest speakers/performers such as varsity/amateur/professional athletes to provide demonstrations of drills and to speak of their experience in the sport being covered in class.
• May also be an idea to have students keep a general log book of what was covered each lecture, and this could reflect part of their participation mark.

6) Non Participating Students 

• Students who can't participate in class due to medical reasons will be given the job of refereeing one of the ongoing games, while those who simply forgot their strip will be given an observation activity
• For examples of observation activities, see the 'Teaching Instruction' write-up at the bottom of the Assessment section of this web-page.
