Nitroball:
Nitroball is an excellent activity, especially for introducing Volleyball. It worked well with my grade 5 students and up through 8th love it. Students learn to coordinate the ball using their hands in a familiar manner by striking the ball and developing motions that mimic many skills of volleyball.

Volleyball:
Volleyball is a classic. I enjoy teaching this activity because volleyball is everywhere, especially come summer time when you're at the beach or at a cook-out. Teaching students in class the basic rules and skills I hope that they would feel both comfortable and confident to participate and to be active!
Not until recently has there been an offering of volleyball at the middle school level. So students, particularly girls, would use their success in class as a deciding factor in continuing on and trying out for the high school team. |
