Use performance words (e.g., "hips at 90 degrees to target", "backswing", "transfer weight") to demonstrate understanding of performance cues associated with skillful sending and receiving of objects.

Say performance cues (think-aloud) while volleying, striking objects with long-handled implements, and punting.

Describe how the body will move when in control of volleying and striking objects with long-handled implements skillfully and safely.

Dribble with one hand a given number of times, then switch to dribble with the other hand the same number of times, without losing control of the ball.

Dribble with one hand, and then the other, varying the height of the dribble without stopping the dribble (e.g., low level bouncing - to knee height, medium level bouncing - between knee and waist height, high level bouncing - up to waist height).

Dribble with hands (one at a time) and feet to move through general space, starting and stopping on signal, without losing control of the ball.

Dribble with hands (one at a time) and feet around objects, covering general space.

Strike a ball (e.g., beach ball, playground ball, soft-touch volleyball) accurately at targets, with each hand separately, varying force, point of contact, and body positions (e.g., underhand, overhand).

Volley a ball (e.g., beach ball, nerf ball, soft-touch volleyball) continuously upwards using various body parts (e.g., knee, foot, hand) moving feet quickly to be in position behind and/or under the ball, keeping the striking surface as flat as possible, extending upward as soon as contact is made.

Volley a ball (that is gently tossed by another person such as an older student) with two hands by moving body to get into position to receive the ball at forehead height; balancing body weight with one foot slightly ahead of the other, with hips, feet, and shoulders facing the target, knees bent; holding hands above the forehead with fingers rounded and thumbs towards the eyes, and elbows slightly bent; contacting the ball above the forehead with pads of all 10 fingers with hands strong but relaxed; passing the ball by generating movement through the entire body, starting at the feet, to knees, hips, torso, arms, and then hands; transferring weight forward; extending arms fully in a follow-through that goes up and towards the target.

Strike self-dropped shuttlecocks (badminton birdie) and balls using long-handled racquets by starting with the racquet extended behind the hip, stepping forward with the opposite foot to racquet hand, swinging racquet forward watching object at all times, slanting racquet slightly upward, making contact slightly in front of the body, and following through towards a target.

Strike stationary objects (e.g., sponge balls, whiffle balls, sponge pucks, felt rings) with long-handled implements (e.g., bats, golf clubs, floor hockey sticks) to a target by:

• (sidearm – bat) gripping the bat close to its base, with hands close together, knuckles of both hands lined up, and wrists firm, standing in a ready position with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, and hips at a 90 degree angle to target; pulling bat back with elbows high; stepping forward with front foot; focusing eyes on the ball through the entire swing; rotating hips, trunk, and arms quickly forward, pushing arms on a horizontal plane; contacting the ball, and snapping the wrists forward immediately after contact
• (underhand – golf club) gripping the club with a comfortable grip (e.g., interlocking, overlapping, or "baseball" grip); standing in a ready position with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and hips at a 90 degree angle to target; focusing eyes on the ball through entire swing; swinging arms back and upward with front arm remaining firm at the top of the backswing and wrists bending up and back; shifting weight to back foot at top of backswing while keeping knees bent, rotating hips and trunk away from the ball; shifting weight forward, rotating hips and spine forward as downward swing begins; upon contact, keeping front arm straight and releasing the bend in the back arm and wrist, as the arms follow through towards target
• (underhand – with a floor hockey stick to pass to a partner) gripping the stick with a firm grip, hands apart with hand opposite to forward hip lower on the stick; standing in a ready position with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent and hips at a 90 degree angle to target; starting puck near back foot; shifting weight from back foot to front foot; moving arms forward while focusing eyes on the target; keeping stick in contact with the puck as long as possible and following through towards partner.

Practise punting a ball in a forward and upward direction by dropping (not tossing) a lightweight ball to the floor (ground), letting it bounce once and then kicking it while it is in the air.

Explore punting, a dropped lightweight ball, with various parts of the foot (e.g., top of foot, toes), both before and after it bounces.
