Basketball Basics: Y5-2

This week, Young Fives, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders are working on basic basketball skills using playground balls.  Students worked on dribbling:  stay low, keep the ball close, eyes out, soft hands.  Students will also practice rolling, chest passes, and bounce passes to wall targets.  With partners, students will practice these skills.  We will also review some exploratory movement tasks with our playground balls.
