Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

After warm-ups as usual, put learners in pairs with a ball. Learners toss a ball and swing the arm from behind to strike the ball to a partner about 6m away. Learners strike the ball back to continue the rally. The process should continue when the ball drops. Supervise and give support to learners. End lesson with cool down.
