Striking it HOT! - Striking Sports

Can you Spike? Send down a wicked backhand stroke? Craft a beautiful rally with a partner?  In this PE class, we will work on a range of striking activities for coordination and play. These will be with your hands and a racket. Rackets come in many different forms, so let's have fun with them.

Volleyball, Speedminton, Badminton, Pickleball, and Table Tennis, are the sporting contexts we will use. We may even look into Tennis or Squash if time and interest permit.  We could also tickle our reactions with some good old-fashioned handball foursquare.

Learning Objectives:

• Cooperate with partners to create prolonged rallies that benefit  games and skill development
• Engage in drills to develop skills through repetition
