More About This Unit
What do our 3rd Grade Basketball PE plans cover?
In Grade 3 Basketball, children should continue to develop ball control, improving control when moving around, and increasing the accuracy and control when passing, shooting and receiving.
Our 3rd Grade Basketball lessons improve decision making in game situations, allowing children to make passes and move into good positions to make it difficult for opponents. Children are encouraged to work well with others, communicating and collaborating, whilst being fair and respectful when competing against others.
Why are Basketball lessons important for elementary-age children?
Basketball lessons play an important role in elementary school PE. They provide opportunities for students to use running, jumping, throwing, and catching in game situations, and continue to develop balance, strength, agility, and control. Basketball lessons also give children a chance to participate in competitive games, using basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.
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.
