1) Equipment
   
For these lessons the teacher will need:
            -basketballs
            -pinnies
            -bean bags
            -cones
            -hoola hoops
            -whistle

2) Teaching Space
   
    In order to maximize your gym/field space:
        -use all space available in the most appropriate way possible i.e.. bigger quadrants.
        -go outside when weather permits - more open space.
        -incorporate all basketball hoops in the gym, this allows for more time-on-task for the                      students.
        -IMPORTANT-when giving instruction uses minimal space where there are little to no                      distractions.

3) Support materials

    See various Lesson Plans from other individuals.

4) Groupings
   
IMPORTANT MANAGERIAL TIPS!
        It is must easier to organize smaller groups, you can then take these smaller groups and pout then together to make larger ones.  For example, have the students pair up and number themselves 1 and 2, this pair can then find another pair to make a group of four.  If you have to work with teams it is sometimes easier to group then before class, this minimizes lost class time due to management.
