Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative learning
Pair/Group work: Overhead passing drill: Demonstrate the correct overhead pass technique to the learners, emphasising the foot placement, arm position and follow-through. Teach learners to grip the ball with both hands, spreading their fingers across the surface. The release : Instruct the learners to bring the ball back behind their head with the elbow bent close to the ears, extend the arms upward and release the ball with a flick of the wrists. The follow-through: Ask learners to follow through (take a step forward) by moving the rear foot upward as the front leg extends during the pass.

Assessment (1.1.4.AS.5): Level 2: Explain how the overhead pass is executed. Level 3: Demonstrate how the overheard pass is executed.
