Safety Issues: We are going to be in the gym today while explaining the rules and if time permits we will go out and play. The girls need to bring a water bottle because it get’s hot outside.

Student grouping for each activity: The girls are pre assigned to squads already.

Technical Description of the skills: Warm up- two laps around the basketball court then dynamic stretches. First we did butt kicks where students kick their heels up to their buttocks and point their knees to the ground. This ensures an active stretch in the legs. Next we did high knees and then a walking plank where girls start in the push up position. First hey move their feet keeping their ankles together and walk their feet into the hands. Then they walk their hands forward and move their feet again until they get to the designated line. Then they get up and run around the stretching area to get in their lines again.

Next, Miss Tea went over the rules of flag football.

Verbal Cues: Hike, Don’t pass the line of scrimmage, 4 Downs.
