The Purpose of this Unit Theme is to provide students with the basic skills necessary to feel comfortable playing activities that incorporate a ball for the purposes of dribbling, passing and shooting. Within this 8-day unit students will progress from practicing independent basketball-related skills to working with small groups to develop the basketball skills necessary for success.
