More About This Unit
What do our 1st Grade Basketball lesson plans cover?
In Grade One Basketball, children should improve their ability to move fluently changing speed and direction. They should continue to develop key fundamental movement skills, both with and without a ball, moving in a safe way.
Our 1st Grade Basketball lesson plans help children develop basic ball control, experiment with different types of sending and receiving, and show some success when aiming at a target.
Why are Basketball lessons important for elementary-age children?
Basketball lessons play an important role in elementary school Phys Ed. They provide opportunities for children to master basic movements and develop fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching, and developing balance, agility, and coordination. Basketball lessons also give children a chance to participate in team games, using simple tactics and forming simple plans to achieve success.
Elementary School Basketball is also great for promoting values such as respect and for helping children become physically confident and competent to support their health and fitness.
