Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

After warm-ups as usual, learners are grouped in pairs with a ball. Learners toss balls and swing their feet from behind to strike the ball to a partner at appropriate distance. Partners strike the ball back to continue the rally. Group can be striking balls light ball like volleyballs with their hands and whiles strike heavy balls like football with their foot to prevent injuries.
Learners continue with the process when the ball drops. Supervise and give support to learners. Organise mini football and volley competition. End lesson with cool down.
