Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B7.2.3.2.1 - Apply movement concepts, principles and strategies in performing beginning level stick and ball sports (e.g., cricket, tsasikele, softball, baseball, and rounders)

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Demonstrate the correct grip and stance for holding a bat or stick in at least two stick and ball sports (cricket and softball).
Apply the movement concepts of space and relationship to position themselves appropriately when batting, bowling, and fielding in a small-group stick and ball game.
Apply the principles of progression and specificity by practising short-distance bowling and hitting with adapted equipment before moving to longer distances.
Create and organise a mini rounders or softball game using adapted rules, then record their individual performance (runs scored, catches taken) in a self-journal.
Work collaboratively in a mixed-ability team, using communication to agree on batting order and fielding positions while resolving disagreements constructively.
