More About This Unit
What do our Kindergarten Basketball lesson plans cover?
In Kindergarten 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 Kindergarten 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 is one of many vital kindergarten PE games - it gives students opportunities 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.
