Year 10 Volleyball Lesson Plan (SACSA)


Learning Area: Physical Education
Unit Topic: Volleyball Specialisation.
Year Level: Year 10

Tactical problem – Attacking as a team

Lesson Focus- Serve receive as a team

Objective- Serve receive and transition to attack.

Curriculum Outcomes:
Value learning in, about and through movement.

Students develop their physical skills and abilities to advanced levels to enable lifelong involvement in physical activity and critically reflect on their ability to use them to form relationships in an increasing involvement in the community. [Id] [In] [KC1]
Students develop a sense of optimism about creating an active, healthy future for themselves and others in the community through generating and analysing ideas and planning and organising activities to maintain and improve fitness and health. [F] [In] [T] [KC1] [KC3]

Lesson Outline:
50 min lesson involving small volleyball games and a full game where students will work as a team both small and large to achieve their best result in both the serving skill, receiving the serve and in game play.


Focus Area:
Games and sports: including sport-specific skills, creating games, team-play concepts, roles in sports, personal and interpersonal skills developed through sport, patterns of sport participation, and benefits of sport participation to individuals and communities, and enhancing sports performances.


Teaching Objectives/Aims:
For the students to acquire, apply and evaluate movement skills, concepts and strategic awareness in order to respond creatively, competently and safely in a variety of physical activity contexts and settings. Students will learn these movement skills through game sense play and some skill work around the serve.


Introduction - Warm up 10mins:
Warm up will involve students getting into teams of three and playing the small game they played last week against another team of three. Only using half of a court but have teams on both sides of the net.
They will have one person underarm toss the volleyball to the setter who sets to the attacker to get the ball over the net. They will do this for 5 mins to refresh their memories of the game of volleyball and the aim.
For the next 5 minutes they will incorporate the serve instead of the toss to the setter to start the game, they also did this last week but as the serve is an important aspect of the game we will focus on it again and in more depth today.
This will start getting the receiver’s use to moving for the ball and setting up for attack but in a smaller space.

Student key Questions-
What do they know about the serve, its role in the game of volleyball?
Rules involved?
Which serve is more beneficial the underarm or overarm?

The teacher will then ask a student who has good skills to come up and demonstrate the over arm serve going through some key points with them such as – tossing the ball high on the arm with their non-hitting arm, stepping forward as to gain momentum, raising their hitting arm high and straight and hitting the ball with an open palm.

Learning Activity 15mins - Serving activity. 
This will be an introductory activity into the serve. Students will work in teams of three still as to not disrupt them and use up time allocating teams again.
The students will play a small sided game where the aim is to gain points.
They will set up having one person serving the ball from the green line before the back line - to give them more opportunity to get the ball over the net.
The other two people will be on the other side of the net -
One in the receiving position one in the setting position.
If the receiver manages to get a pass up from the serve the receiver gets 1 point, if they then get it to the setter and another hit is made its 2 points.
 If the server gets the ball over and the receiver gets it but doesn’t make a play out of it its 1 point and if it’s an ace its 3 points.
The setter doesn’t get points whilst in that position. Have students keep score.

Rotate after 5 serves each. After each person has had a go push back to serve behind the volleyball court back line and play again. Try to ensure students are overarm serving.
At this stage add in that the server can now receive a point if they can move down the court and receive the ball from the hitter when it comes back over the net – this will teach the importance of being prepared and off-the ball movement skills.

Teaching points –
Walk around the gym and ensure all students are serving within the rules eg. Releasing the ball before hitting it and not stepping over the line.
Continue reinforcing key points about the serve.

Student Key questions-
Why is the W formation best for receiving the Volleyball?
Does this formation leave much space on the court?
When receiving a serve how should you be positioned?
Why does this position give you a higher success rate?

Learning Activity – 10 mins

Game 1

Setup- 6 v 6

Goal- Set up to attack

Conditions-
  • Full court
  • Regulation rules
  • Initiate game from a free ball from the server position
  • Rally score

Questions-

Q- What is the best way to organise your team to receive the serve?
A- Use the W serve-receive formation, playing positions

Q- How does using a serve-receive formation help your team?
A- It helps with communication and all players know their roles.

Teaching points-
Get low to the ground with arms out in front – demonstrate.
Stay on toes to allow ease of movement towards the ball.
Ensure you are taking up as much space on the court as possible in your W formation.

Conclusion Activity/Full game play – 10mins

Setup- 6 v 6
Conditions-
  • Normal rules.
  • Full court


Exit Questions:
What are 3 things you learnt about the serve today?
Why is the W formation important?

Special Considerations:
If students are struggling to get the ball over the net they may use the underarm serve and if needed step closer to the net.

Evidence of student Progress:
Students should understand the importance of the serve in the game of volleyball and successfully initiate a game using it. After this lesson you should also see students who have served quickly move themselves back onto the court ready for defence. This will show that students understand the important off the ball play in the game of volleyball.
