Safety Considerations

-Students will only touch the equipment and use the equipment when instructed to

do so by the teacher.

-Students will only hit the ball to their partner when their partner is watching.

-Students will not run across or on to another court while peers are hitting. The

students will be asked to wait until the point is over to walk on to a court to

retrieve a tennis ball.

-Students will keep the tennis ball in control, rather than recklessly hitting the ball.

-Students will not aim at their peers when trying to hit the ball.

-Students will not leave the tennis court area, unless instructed to do so by the

teacher.

Tennis Block Plan Day One Introductory Activity: Students will run two laps around all of the tennis courts holding their racket in their dominant hand. Fitness Activity: Cardiovascular endurance- Teacher will demonstrate a train (court run) and students will follow completing two court runs. (Jog up the doubles line, touch the net, slide across to singles line, jog backwards back to the service line, slide across to the center of the service line, jog up the middle of the service line, touch the net, jog backwards on the center service line, slide across center service line to the singles sideline, jog up to net on the singles sideline, touch the net, slide across to the doubles sideline, jog backwards to the base line, and slide across the full width of the baseline). Flexibility: Stretching calves, quadriceps, groin, hamstrings, triceps, shoulders, and wrists. Lesson Focus:

• Go over basic rules in tennis (scoring, boundaries, and safety) • Go over basic footwork (ready position) and court awareness • Racket awareness and handling techniques

Culminating Activity: Students will count and see how many times in a row they can hit the ball down using their racket, without losing control of the ball.

Students will each get one hit and then run around to the other side behind the center mark. The ball goes continuously until it is hit out of bounds or hit into the net.)

Tennis Block Plan Day 6 Introductory Activity: Students will stand across the net from another, each at the baseline and drop-hit the ball to one another practicing their forehand and backhands. Fitness Activity: Muscular Strength and Endurance: Sets and Repetitions -3 30-second repetitions of ‘easy’ pushups -3 30-second repetition of more strenuous push-ups (triangle, etc.) -3 30-second strenuous pushups (one-handed, etc.) Flexibility: Stretching calves, quadriceps, groin, hamstrings, triceps, shoulders, and wrists.

Journal Entries You will be asked to provide one spiral notebook for this unit, for which you will write journal entries in. This tennis unit will last for approximately three weeks (14 class meetings). After every class you will be asked to reflect on the lesson. Therefore, you will have a total of 13 entries because you will not be asked to reflect on the last day of the unit since we will be having an exam.

Your journal entries could include:

-How you felt about how the lesson went -How you feel about your personal performance -Your level of improvement -Any difficulties you are having -What you would like to practice more -Any questions you have You must address at least three of the above, or three of your own thoughts and feelings. Make sure you bring your journals to every class because your journals will be checked randomly throughout the tennis unit, so make sure you stay up-to-date with your entries. If you do not have the amount of journal entries completed during a random check, you will lose half your participation points for the day. The journal will be turned in with your exam on the last day of the tennis unit.

Rubric for the Journal Entries A

13 or more journal entries; including at least three topics addressed in each entry

B

11-12 journal entries; including at least three topics addressed in each entry

C


D


F

5 or less journal entries; including at least three topics addressed in each entry

Punch Serve Assessment

You will need to find two partners, so you have a group of three. One partner will start as the

server (A), partner B will stand next to the serve to observe partner A’s form while serving.

Partner C will stand diagonally across the net from partner A to call the serve in or out.

Partner A = Server

Partner B = observer and recorder

Partner C = calls the ball in or out; tells partner B so he can record it.
