Scope and Sequence
Goals and Objectives
We developed this lesson plan to be used in a highschool (8-12) setting. The lessons focus on particular themes that will help build an appreciation and understanding of territory/invasion games while developing decision making and lacrosse specific skills.
Introduction to territory/invasion games
Moving to space (Supporting and Covering)
Evasion, marking, and guarding
Adjusting and Culmination
Because time may be an issue, not all of the games have to be played in a lesson. Games and lesson structure can be modified based on the teachers needs and constraints.
