time will be given after every different shooting style.

- Once shown, the kids will have time to practice each different type of skill, roughly 5

minutes per skill. - Once enough time to practice has pasted, the kids will be playing the game shooting stars

to further practice and evaluate the sills they have just learnt.

Applying: Shooting Stars (12 mins)

- Divide students into four groups. Each group will start at a different starting point.

- At each starting point there will be a different way to shoot the ball, with different points

for difficulty.

- Each group will have 3 minutes per station to try and get as many points as possible.

- Each student will get one try then move to the back of the line until it is their turn again

to try and make a basket.

- Once a basket is scored they will take a coloured bean bag that has been assigned a point

depending on the difficulty of the basket (blue=1, yellow=3, pink=5, green=10) and run it

back to their bucket at their starting point.

- Once all groups have had a chance to shout all four baskets they will count up all their

points to see which group won.
