Hoop V-Ball: Place a hula hoop on the floor on each side of the net. The serving team starts with a toss or serve over the net. The receiving team has 3 hits to get the ball to their teammate in the hoop. The players in the hoops could be placed either on the same side as their team or on the opponents side of the net. The hoop player must catch the ball for a point. Repeat with the other team serving. Change the hoop players often.
Falling Star: Place an equal amount of players on each side of the net. Near the sideline place a box or container. Have the players toss or hit the ball over the net while the opposing team will try to catch it before it hits the floor. If the ball is caught the ball is placed in the box or container. The object is to catch more balls then the other team. Use about 8 - 10 different types of balls. For each one of these games to move from simple to complex with the solution to the tactical problem you could use alternative equipment such as a beach ball instead of a standard volleyball. The alternative equipment will give the primary students time to react to the ball, which will ensure more confidence and success. The skills will be taught first in sequential order and that skill progression will be set up in a scope and sequence , which is a step by step progression until mastery. Give many opportunities and changes when there is trouble, such as engaging in activities that allow one bounce or many hits.
The most imortant detail isn't the final outcome. Game appreciation, working together and practicing the skills are more important than competition. In many instances, the idea of beating a previous performance will suffice.
Well done!
