Handball
Handball is a relatively new sport, and most Elementary kids will not have played it before. Using our Handball lesson plans is a perfect way to demonstrate how we can transfer skills from one sport to the other, still using our throwing, catching, and teamwork skills. The assessment grids below will highlight which students have been able to demonstrate a transfer of skills into a new sport.

More About This Unit
What do our 5th Grade Handball lesson plans cover?
In Grade 5 Handball, children should learn to perform and combine skills, at speed, with confidence and control. Children should choose and apply skills that meet the need of the situation such as keeping possession or moving to get away from an opponent.
Our 5th Grade Handball lesson plans help children improve teamwork skills, follow rules of the game and understand formations and individual roles.
Why are Handball lessons important for elementary-age children?
Handball lessons play an important role in elementary school PE. They provide opportunities for children to use running, jumping, throwing, and catching in game situations, and continue to develop balance, strength, agility, and control. Handball lessons also give children a chance to participate in competitive games, using basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.
Elementary School Handball is also great for promoting values such as respect and for helping children become physically confident and competent to support their health and fitness.
