TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to perform a bank shot.
IMPORTANCE
A bank shot is important because it increases the likelihood that when using the backboard your shot will go into the basket.
VOCABULARY
Bank Shot: a shot attempt when the ball hits the backboard before going in the basket.
When performing a bank shot, it is important to:
1. Bend your knees with your shooting foot slightly forward.
2. Place your shooting hand on top of the ball and your non-shooting hand on the side.
3. Make an "L" with your shooting arm.
4. Straighten your legs and push the ball with your shooting hand.
5. Aim for the top corner of the box.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Curry Shoot Around II. Your goal is to sink as many bank shots, like Steph Curry, around the court as you can with your teammate.
INSTRUCTIONS
- I will divide the class into teams of two.
- Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the ball first.
- When I say, "GO!" try to make a bank shot from any dot on the court.
- Once you have shot, your teammate will rebound the ball.
- If both teammates make the shot from the dot, then they get to pick up and keep the dot.
- Shots are only counted if the ball touches the backboard and then goes in.
- We will begin a new game once there are no more dots on the court.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. See how many dots your team can collect.
Game 2: Once you pick up a dot, your team is allowed to put the dot wherever you choose.
Exit Ticket: Students shoot a bank shot before putting the ball away.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Triple Play. Your goal is to shoot a basket by using a bank shot.

- When I say, "GO!" student #1 will dribble to student #2.
- Student #2 will make a shot on the basket (using the backboard).
- Student #3 will 1) rebound the shot, 2) dribble it back up to the next student in line at position #1, and 3) get in the back of the line.
- After the shot is made, student #1 will move to #2, #2 will move to #3.
- The next student in line can go as soon as the shot is made.
- The rotation will continue until all students have been at every position.
Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Game 2: Have students #1 and #3 use their non-dominant hand while dribbling.

RINGER II
TIME
10-20 minutes
NUMBER OF STUDENTS
2-11 students per basket
EQUIPMENT
1 basketball ball per student
STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ringer II. Your goal is to get all of your teammates onto the court by shooting a bank shot.
INSTRUCTIONS
- I will divide the class into two teams.
- You must select two people from your team to start off as the ringers.
- The rest of your team will stand behind the end line.
- When I say, "GO!" the ringers will shoot from anywhere on the court on their side.
- If a ringer makes a shot, one student from his/her team can join and begin shooting.
- Shots are only counted if the ball touches the backboard then goes in the hoop.
- We will begin a new game once one team has all their members on the court.
- New ringers will be chosen each game.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. Teacher gives a number to each student. This will determine the order students can come onto the court.
Game 2: Use a boy/girl order to determine the order students can come onto the court. Have the students that are waiting at the end line perform a task (i.e. hold a plank, wall sit, jumping jacks, etc.).
Game 3: Use height (shortest to tallest) to determine the order students can come onto the court.
Exit Ticket: Students shoot a bank shot before putting the ball away.
TEACHING TIPS
- Approach
- Depending on class size, increase the number of ringers needed to start off each game.
- If not all students are participating when shooting, enforce a “shooting order” students must shoot in.

- Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
- Model skills in a small group.
