Managerial Routines

1) Equipment

Basketballs may be obtained from the desiganted racks when the teacher instructs to get a ball. When asked to put balls away they must be placed back on the racks. There is no throwing or kicking of the basketballs.
Pinnies are contained in a bag and distributed by the teacher.
Cones are stored in an equipment room and may be set up before class or during. Can use designated students (preferrably non-participating students) to set up cones and/or collect them.
Students are asked to get their own ball or the teacher/T.A. distributes a ball to each team.
A T.A. assists in the set up of stations (i.e. circuit) and/or playing areas.

2) Procedures

Students have 10 minutes at the start of class to get changed and shoot the ball around.
The use of a whistle is the signal for the students to stop what they are doing and hold the balls.
After 10 minutes the class is brought in and the teacher explains what the activity is for that day and then introduces the warm up.
If a student gets hurt or injured they are allowed one other student to accompany them to the first aid office or to get ice, etc.
Students have 10 minutes at the end of class to get changed and then report back to the teacher for attendance and participation marks. Closure is also done at this time and consists of some kind of cognitive aspect i.e. asking questions about the different technique cues the students learned that day.
Participation marks are given for each class and is out of 5 marks.

3) Groupings

                           - individual
                           - partners - in order to change partners have each pair number off
                            as one and two, then designate either number to move one pair to
                            the left or right
                            - groups of 3 or more - teacher numbers off the students to create teams or
                            groups

4) Classroom rules

The students may go to the bathroom after they have received permission from the teacher.
There is no gum chewing during Physical Education for safety reasons.
Appropriate gym strip must be worn at all times. What the student wore to school that day is not considered gym strip even if it consists of shorts, t-shirt and runners. If a student does not have proper strip they lose their participation marks for that class.
