Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Collaborative Learning: Learners imitate movement without the ball on correct footwork and staying balanced. In pairs, one learner is fed with balls while the other focuses on moving to the ball with proper footwork and returning to the ready position after each shot. Learners practice movement patterns for different shots (approach shots, etc.)
Group based learning: Learners in groups practice rally skills focusing on proper footwork and court positioning. Activity based learning: Learners go through different drills to improve footwork and movement on the court by; shuffling and sliding movements to improve court coverage.

Assessment (3.1.2.AS.3): Level 1: What are the key components of effective footwork when transitioning from the baseline to the non-volley zone? Level 2: Describe the importance of the split step in pickleball and when it should be used. Level 3: Explain the proper technique for moving laterally on the pickleball court.
