ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Triple threat

Basketball Unit | Level 28

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to get in the triple threat position.  

IMPORTANCE
A triple threat is important because it provides you with three different options: to dribble, pass or shoot while you are in possession of the ball.

VOCABULARY
Triple threat position: a basketball position where the ball is protected from the defense and the player has three options with the ball: pass, dribble or shoot.

When getting in a triple threat position, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into groups of three. With your group decide which two students will play offense and who will play defense. Offense will begin with the ball on the baseline while defense will begin on the midline. When I say, "GO!" offense will demonstrate one of three options in a triple threat while being defended. After 30-seconds rotate positions. 
2. Repeat as many times as needed. 

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Bacon Basketball. In this game, the objective is to steal the bacon (basketball) from the middle of the court and use a triple threat technique to score on your opponent.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams – using flags to tell who you are.
• Each team will line up on their sideline shoulder-to-shoulder.
• I will give a number to each student on both teams.
• At the beginning of each round, I will call out two numbers (one from each team).
• When your number is called, run to the center of the court to grab the ball.
• Once you have the ball, use a triple threat technique to score in either hoop.
• The first student to make a basket will receive one point for his/her team and the round ends.
• You cannot shove or push another student for the ball.
• Failure to play with sportsmanlike conduct can result in an automatic point for the other team.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • When numbering students, try to assign the same number to students of similar athletic ability.
• ELL Accommodations
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
• Reflection
  • How were you able to create open space during a practice task today? Which part of the triple threat did you choose to use and why?
  • Why is it important to think about the three different options you have when you are in possession of the ball?
  • How can your teammates influence your decision?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Triple Threat Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to use a triple threat technique to score a basket on your opponent.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of three using flags to tell who you are.
• All games will be played on a half-court.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start with the ball at the half-court line.
• Every successful shot inside the arc is awarded one point, while every successful shot behind the arc is awarded two points.
• If the defense gains possession of the ball within the arc, by a steal, a block or a rebound, the team must move the ball behind the arc before taking a shot.
• After a shot is made, the play restarts with a student from the non-scoring team taking the ball directly under the basket and then dribbling or passing it to a point behind the arc. The defense is not allowed to play, block or charge for the ball inside the arc.
• There is no pushing or shoving. Any fouls may result in loss of play for the student.
• We will begin a new game and rotate teams at the end of 10 minutes.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach
  •  Divide students equally based on athletic ability.
• Approach
  • Give students the option to be in a competitive or non-competitive group.
• ELL Accommodations
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Model skills in a small group.
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
• Reflection
  • How were you able to create open space during a practice task today? Which part of the triple threat did you choose to use and why?
  • Why is it important to think about the three different options you have when you are in possession of the ball?
  • How can your teammates influence your decision?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Shadow. In this game, the objective is to use a triple threat technique to get past the defensive student and make a basket.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two groups - offense and defense.
• Before the game begins, line up behind your designated marker cone.
• When I say, "GO!" defense will sprint towards offense, remaining an arm’s length away from each other.
• The offense must start dribbling to the opposing team’s basket.
• The defense cannot touch or steal the ball.
• The offense must try and lose the defense using a triple threat technique and make a shot.  
• After the defense makes it back to the end line, they will join the offensive line.
• We will begin a new game once everyone has a chance at being offense and defense.
