Learning Objectives

Indicator: B3.1.7.1.8 - Strike a gently tossed ball with a bat, using a side orientation (movement).

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Demonstrate the correct side orientation by standing with the non-dominant shoulder facing the tosser before striking.
Strike a gently tossed ball with a bat using an inward orientation (swinging across the body) and send it toward a partner.
Strike a gently tossed ball with a bat using an outward orientation (swinging away from the body) and send it toward a partner.
Coordinate eye, hand and bat to make contact with a tossed ball in at least 3 out of 5 attempts.
Control the force of the strike so the ball travels gently and accurately to a partner standing about 3 to 4 metres away.
