Overall Expectation
BUMP/ UNDERHAND PASS
Strand C Movement Competence: Skills, Concepts & Strategies
WARM UP
Today’s warm up game will be “Red
Light/Green Light” where our traffic
enforcer will say “Green Light” when
everyone is to do an activity or “Red
Light” when everyone is to stop doing
an activity. The traffic enforcer may say
“Red Light” or “Green Light” as many
times as they want. We will do each
activity for 45 seconds and then rest
for 15 seconds, before beginning the
next. Our first activity will be jumping
jacks. Next, we will do squats. Our third
activity will be lunges. Then, we will do
running on the spot. And our final
activity will be frog jumps.
Specific Expectation
C2 apply movement strategies demonstrate an understanding of the
appropriately, demonstrating an phases of movement (i.e., preparation,
understanding of the components of a execution, follow-through), and apply this
variety of physical activities, in order to understanding to the refinement of
enhance their ability to participate movement skills as they participate in a
successfully in those activities variety of physical activities
TOE TO HEAD
STEP 1: Feet should be planted, shoulder width apart,
facing forward toward the target.
Knees are soft, slightly bent (athletic stance) in
ready position. The lower body will be used for
balance and strength in this movement.
Back is straight but leaning forward, in 30-50
degree angle, depending on whether ball is
coming from higher or lower position (Higher
pass = more open body) (Lower pass = more
acute).
Shoulders are rounded forward because, when
in underhand pass/bump position, elbows are
together and shoulders are forced forward.
STEP 2:
Back is straight but leaning
forward, in 30-50 degree angle,
depending on whether ball is
coming from higher or lower
position (Higher pass = more
open body) (Lower pass = more
acute).
Arms should only have a small
swing toward target in this
movement. Hips, legs, and
lower body will be the source of
strength. Hips can be shifted to
the left or right, depending on
the location of the target.
Shoulders remain rounded
forward because, when in
underhand pass/bump position,
elbows are together and
shoulders are forced forward.
STEP 3:
Elbows are locked, forward (as if pushing
towards the sky) and together, making a flat
surface/platform. Hands should be palm
over palm, thumbs together, and forward
creating a flat surface. When passing, we
imagine that we are wrapping ourselves
around the ball and redirecting it to our
target. Finish movement by slightly
swinging arms towards the target, and
moving feet slightly towards the target.
Ball should be met
MYTH: at hands/wrists.
FACT:
Contact should be made as
high up the arms as possible
where the surface is flatter,
preventing injury from
repetitive hits to arm and
wrist joints.
