Selection of Teams

The teams in this model are based on countries that participate in the Olympics (USA, China, Brazil, Japan & Great Britain). There are five teams of six players. Within each team, students will have a partner that they will be playing with for the whole season. The partners within each country are trying to earn points for their particular country throughout the season. The teams were selected by the teacher based on skill level and student background information. Some of the characteristics that were used to determine the teams were gender, participation, skill level, the ability to play with a

team, personality, and whether a student is a leader or a follower. Some students who would negatively influence each other were placed on different teams.

Player Every student eventually is a player They are only a player when they are playing and dont have to worry about any other jobs when they are playing Students will be playing doubles tennis matches Each player will play with the same partner the entire season

 Each win is worth a point for their country

Statistician Each pair will have a statistician so there will be three per country Records the stats for each individual for the game they are keeping stats for Records aces, points scored, forehand hits, backhand hits, and drop shots

Captain Each pair will have a captain so there will be three per country Represents the set of partners and determines which side serves first and which side of the court they will be playing on It might not necessarily be a leader; it can teach a follower how to become a leader especially if they want to win Makes sure they know which court to go to and when for their partner

Referee Each pair will have one referee so there will be three per country Has knowledge for the rules of tennis and can help solve a potential dispute between teams during a match Makes the official ruling on a call, such as whether or not the ball hit the net on a serve or if the ball was in or out The ref has the final say on all the calls

Manager One manager represents their country by taking attendance for the country every class The manager gets all the equipment for their country and makes sure everything is cleaned up at the end of class Lets their country know who they are playing and where they are playing according to the schedule made for the teacher before every class

Tennis Season Outline Name of sport: Tennis Season Length: 20 days, 10 weeks Class Size: 30 students (16 males, 14 females) Class Time: Class meets 2 times a week for 50 minutes Facilities: The class will take place on 6 regulation sized tennis courts with nets. The class will be playing doubles so there will be 4 people on each court.

11

Equipment: Tennis courts with nets (5) Tennis racquets (30) Tennis balls (40) Whistle (1) Watch (1) Scorebooks (5) Pencils (10) Diagram:

Season Objectives (P): Demonstrate proper skill for the serve, forehand, backhand and drop shot during game play throughout the season with at least 70% success. (NASPE 1, MA CF 2.17) (C): Identify 80% or more of the correct answers on the tennis quiz at the end of the season.

Rules of Tennis Serving The ball is served by one person diagonally to the other side of the court over the three foot net The server rotates so that each player serves once every fourth game Each player takes one tide of the court The ball must be served into the box diagonal from where the ball is being served The server must serve the ball from behind the baseline between the sideline and the center If the serve doesnt land in the diagonal box from the server or if it hits the net, the server gets another try. This is called a fault If the serve is faulted twice, the opponent gets a point In doubles the serve is shared by the two players of each team alternately and changed between the opposing teams after every game After every point in a doubles match, the two players of the serving team swap positions

13

Scoring A tennis match can be best of three sets or best of five sets (For this class we will be doing best of three sets) A player or team wins a set after winning six games and being ahead by two games (For this class a team wins a set after being the first to win three games) The team that scores four points first wins the game, assuming they are up by two points The scoring system is as follows:

If both teams are at a score of 40-40 they are in Deuce The team that scores after Deuce is said to have an Advantage If the team in the Advantage score the game is over; if the team without the Advantage scores they are back in Deuce The only way the game can end when in Deuce is if the team scores two consecutive points after the tie A point is lost when: The player errs consecutively while serving, causing a double fault A player is unable to return the ball in the opponent's court, before it bounces twice The player hits the ball outside the court or hits a permanent fixture like the net poles A player returns a serve, before it hits the ground or before it has crossed the net A double racket touch or carrying of the ball by a player A player touches the net or comes in bodily contact with the net or any part of the opponent's court or the ball hits the player's body When both doubles players on a team, touch a ball at the same time References: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/basic-rules-for-playing-tennis.html

Players/Position 4 players per court 2 players lined up in the middle of the base line Rules/Regulations There are two players in line in the middle of the base line on each side of the court. One student will start the point with an underhand shot. The student first in line on the other side returns the shot and then goes to the end of the line, the next student in line will play the teams next shot. The same happens for the other team The point continues until a mistake is made. Games are played until ten. Safety Concerns Students should be aware of the other student when returning to line because they will be moving and trying to play the ball. Students should also be aware to keep the ball in play and if you are in line be aware of tennis balls that go out of play. Extension Up The doubles alley will be opened for the singles game to make the court bigger. Extension Down Each shot will be allowed to bounce twice before being returned. If the ball bounces more than twice then it cannot be played.

Team Rotations Every team has six players and of those six players, three of them are captains and they represent their pair. The captains remain the same for the entire unit. Each team has one manager and the manager stays the same the entire unit. The two rotation positions are the referee and the statistician. Each team or country has three referees and two statisticians (one of each per doubles pair). Every class each pair switches to be either the referee or the statistician so they are one of them every other class. When a pair is not playing they will have to referee and keep the stats for a team that is playing.

23

Skills Challenge Day Precision Serving Each of the five teams has their own court Everyone serves from the same side There are spots on the court that are worth a certain amount of points Where the ball lands, the person who served it gets that specified amount of points The game will go for ten minutes and each person keeps their own score When the teacher blows the whistle the game ends and each country adds up their score

Precision Forehand Each of the five teams has their own court There are four people on the court at a time, two people are sitting out One team serves the ball and the other team must return it with a forehand shot Wherever the ball lands the team that hit it with a forehand shot gets that amount of points 24

The points only count if the ball is returned with a forehand shot The serving team lets the ball drop and rotates to the other side of the net. The return team rotates out and the the team that is out rotates to the serving team. The game will go for ten minutes and each pair keeps their own score When the teacher blows the whistle the game ends and each country adds up their score

Precision Backhand Each of the five teams has their own court There are four people on the court at a time, two people are sitting out One team serves the ball and the other team must return it with a forehand shot Wherever the ball lands the team that hit it with a forehand shot gets that amount of points The points only count if the ball is returned with a backhand shot The serving team lets the ball drop and rotates to the other side of the net. The return team rotates out and the the team that is out rotates to the serving team. The game will go for ten minutes and each pair keeps their own score When the teacher blows the whistle the game ends and each country adds up their score

Yorktown High School Monthly Newsletter Physical Education Class Takes Action By Joseph Stalin The fifth period physical education class at Yorktown High School looked a little different than usual. The class, taught by Mr. Raniolo, is doing a sport education model. The basic premise of a sport education model is instruction that is carried out in a way which simulates an athletic team and season. Being that it simulates a team, each team has different roles for their players. Everyone eventually is a player and they get to represent the country that they play for. There are five countries that are represented in the class. These countries include, the United States of America, China, Japan, Brazil, and Great Britain. The students can play the role of captain, manager, referee, statistician, and again everyone is a player. I had the privilege to speak with one of the students from the class and ask him some questions about the class. Here is the conversation I had with Jake Versprille. Jake, please explain to me about how you feel about the sport education model going on in your physical education class right now. I love it. Its a really fun unit that a lot of my classmates look forward to every year. Everyone gets their own job and has a role for their team so everyone is held accountable by their teammates. I enjoy how it gets competitive and it makes physical education class more enjoyable when everyone is into it and involved. What is your role for your team and what do you have to do to maintain your role? I am the Captain for my duo which is myself and Halle Berry. As captain I represent myself and Halle and help determine which side of the court we will play on and which team will serve first. I also must show leadership not only for my duo, but also for my country. Along with being a captain I am a referee or a statistician. These two role rotate between me and Halley every class. As a referee I must know all the rules and make the calls for the game that I am reffing and as the statistician I keep the statistics for a team while I am not playing. I thank Jake for taking the time to talk to me and hope the sport education model is received that well by his classmates. Good luck to Jake and the Brazilians and the rest of the class in the tournament.

Sportsmanship Goals Statement

34

Sportsmanship is one of the most critical parts of competition of any kind. Sportsmanship includes being humble when you when and humble when you lose. Sportsmanship also includes giving one hundred percent during any type of competition. If a person is not giving one hundred percent that is not being a good sport. A list of goals to fulfil good sportsmanship include: 1. Always respecting the teacher, equipment, referees, teammates, and opponents at all times during every class. 2. Behaving and participating in ways that enhance the motivation of themselves and the students around them. 3. Gives 100% effort, 100% of the time whether you are at the pre-control stage of tennis, utilization stage of tennis, or anywhere in between. 4. Show up to class on time and prepared by being dressed appropriately and with a positive attitude.

Fair Play Scoring System

35

Each student will get assessed throughout the unit and will be graded on the scale below and each team will have final tally for fair play at the end of the unit. 1 - Bad sportsmanship - Does not show any respect for the teacher, equipment, referees, teammates, and opponents at all times during every class. Students will argue calls and start arguments with teammates and doesnt give close to 100% effort. 2 - Mediocre Sportsmanship - Shows an average amount of respect for the teacher, equipment, referees, teammates, and opponents at all times during every class. Argues little with referees or teammates and gives a little less than 100 percent effort. 3 - Good Sportsmanship - Shows respect for the teacher, equipment, referees, teammates, and opponents most of the class. Rarely argues with referees or teammates and rarely doesnt give 100% effort. 4 - Excellent Sportsmanship - Shows respect for the teacher, equipment, referees, teammates, and opponents 100% of the time every single class. Never argues with referees or teammates and always gives 100% effort 100% of the time.

Final Tally USA - 21 China - 20 Brazil - 20 Japan - 18 Great Britain - 20
