TEACHING TIPS
- Approach: Divide teams equally based on athletic ability.
- Approach: If there not enough students to make even teams the teacher can play.
- Approach: Consider enforcing a passing rule before scoring (must pass to everyone before scoring) if not all students are participating.
- Approach: Depending on class size, consider playing with two teams of 6-11 students each. Each team can have substitutes that can rotate in.
- Discussion: Ask students to share who they saw attacking the ball during the scrimmage.
