Volleyball!

Volleyball is upon us!!  We do so many volleyball type activities but never play a traditional 6 v 6 game.  With the younger levels we start with balloons, work up to beach balls, grocery store rubber balls (you know the ones I'm talking about... the ones you see in the big cage!), then get some some trainer volleyball that are lighter than a real one. 

Today the primary students did a 4-Square volleyball activity.  We often do this two ways.

1. As a team!  See how many hits you can have together before it hits the ground.
2. Traditional 4 Square rules with eliminations.  

All the volleyball activities we do with K-6th grade focus on the setting, passing and serving techniques used in volleyball.  But more importantly the students are learning to MOVE to get to the ball.  They cannot stay in one place and they have to be ready to go.
