Classroom Note:

Throwing in Basketball (https://www.headteacher.com.ng/notes/lesson-note-on-ball-games-basketball-basic-4/)

Throwing in basketball involves using your hands to push the basketball away from your body towards a teammate or into the hoop. The basic technique requires proper grip, stance, and arm movement.

Catching in basketball (https://www.headteacher.com.ng/notes/lesson-note-on-basketball-basic-skills-and-materials-needed-for-basketball-basic-3/)

Catching in basketball is the act of securely receiving the ball from another player. This requires good hand-eye coordination and being ready to receive the ball with both hands, keeping your eyes on the ball until it is securely held.

Evaluation Questions:

  1. What are two important things to remember when throwing a basketball?
  2. Why is catching important in basketball?
  3. Show me how you would catch a ball thrown to you.

Note to Teachers:
Adjust the complexity of the drills based on the pupils’ skill levels. Encourage pupils to give feedback on their experiences and focus on building a supportive team environment during the practice games. Remember to emphasize safety, especially during group activities.
