Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Take learners through warm-ups (general and specifics). Demonstrate throw and catch self-tossed ball by throwing a ball with two hands up and catch the ball as it drops. Guide learners to practice throw and catch self-tossed ball as individuals. Let them throw for others to catch.
Organise mini handball/basketball or netball game for learners to apply the skills for fun and enjoyment. End lesson with cool/warm down.
