6th grade Pickleball Unit

Yep, we have started our new unit - Pickleball! The game is a lot like tennis but a different paddle and ball and a smaller court. It was named Pickleball after the creators dog! (The dogs name was "Pickles" and he chased after the balls) We started the unit with relays, ball handling practice like "ups" and "downs" and a small practice game of Pickleball...More fun to come! *Check the link on the side of the blog to go to the official "Pickleball" website!



Here's a video on forehand and backhand:

7th grade Team Handball Unit

We have officially started our Team Handball unit. We participated in ball handling relays, learned proper throwing & catching technique, and had fun with our throwing challenges...all to the beat of rockin' music. More Team Handball fun to come!
