Middle school PE is on Wednesday and Thursday

nitro ball

-Setting Up:

Use a tennis court outside or a volleyball court inside.

Four players position themselves in two rows on either side of the net.

One player stands half ways between the back of the court and the net, holding the nitro ball.

-Instructions:

On the leader's signal to begin, the server underhand serves the ball over the net into the other team's court. All serves must be underhand.

The serving team must let the ball land in their court before striking the ball (with one or two hands)--every hit can only be made after the ball bounces off the floor--the only exception is the serve.

Each team can hit the ball a maximum of three times per side before the ball must go over the net--blocking is not permitted because the ball must bounce off the floor before being hit.

Points are scored when:

The ball lands out of bounds.

Requires more than three hits to get the ball over the net.

The ball lands on the floor two times in a row.

The ball hits on a team's own side and goes over the net.

The team that scores a point gets to serve next.

Team's rotate one player clockwise if the other team served last.

First team to score 21 points is the winner.

-Questions & Notes:

Variations:

Catch and Hit: For younger or less experienced players have each player catch the ball and then hit it.

6-8 Players: More players makes the game easier and should be used for younger players.

Two hand: All hits must be made with two hands. This slows the game down.

All touch: All four players must hit the ball before it is sent over the net.

Questions:

Offensively what are helpful strategies to score points?

Defensively what are helpful strategies to reduce points being scored against you?
