We are in our Invasion Games Unit! An Invasion Game is a sport where two teams are attacking each others goal or area (basketball, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football etc...).
We are learning different concepts of invasion games and have been using basketball as a means of acquiring understanding.
We have concentrated on 3 concepts:
Attacking the Goal
Creating Space/Using Space
Defending the Goal.
Please list some of the things that we have practiced in basketball to "Attack the Goal" or to "Create Space/Use Space" or to "Defend the Goal". After you have listed an activity/drill/game and what concept it works on, relate how this invasion game concept works with floor hockey/soccer, our next unit.
This entry is worth 5 points. You will get one point for each of the following parts to your entry:
Specific drill or game
Concept worked on
How the concept relates to Soccer/floor hockey
Sentence use.

Period 7 Weight Training Blog #3
We have a new rule for our weight room!
If the spotter touches the bar, or declares your form poor the rep does not count and the set is over. The set needs to be redone with a lighter weight.
Please provide one rule that you would like to have in the weight room for safety, form, or general good practice.

Period 5 Blog #3 Teams and Roles
Team positions. A basketball team has five players that play five different postions.
1. A "1" is the point guard. This person is the best dribbler and passer. This person brings the ball down the court and has the best chance of maintaining possesion of the ball if pressure is put on.
2. A "2" is the shooting guard. This person has the best shot on the team. You want this person to shoot the ball for you the most.
3. A "3" is the small forward. This person is a pretty good at shooting and rebounding. They will cut through the lane and be a threat.
4. A "4" is the power forward. This person is a great rebounder and will spend most of the time with their back to the basket, or playing in the post. They will take close shots and look to rebound every ball.
5. A "5" is the center. This person is usually the tallest person on the team and specializes in shot blocking and rebounding. On offense, they are like the power forward and play close to the basket.
Please look at your team and assign the players on your team a role or position as described. Put the number next to their name from 1-5 and put yourself last with whichever number you think you will fit into and why.

Period 2 Next Steps
Next week we will be selecting teams for the Invasion Games Unit. Our procedure for selecting teams is like the NBA Draft.
The instuctors act like the Commissionsers of the league and have final say in league operations and will select "Franchise Owners" that are in charge of selecting teams from a list of "Free Agents". Franchise Owners are also players on the team.
When they select teams they will go away from the group and be given a draft order number. They will select in there order going 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and then back down 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, with 8 picking first in the second round. The draft order continues to snake until all athletes have been selected(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6...).
This is done away from the group so that no external pressures are put upon the Franchise Owners.
What are the benifits to selecting like this? What are some potential problems? Should there be trades in the season? Are there any things you would like to add to this procedure?

Advanced Weight Training Period 7
This week we are maxing out to find our 1 rep max strength. Starting next week you will be starting your workouts to increase strength. The workout schedule for the next 4 weeks will be as follows:
Workout A Squat - 3 sets of 5 repititions (not inclucing warm-up sets)
Bench Press - 3 X 5 (this means 3 sets of 5 repititions - not including warm-up sets)
Deadlift - 1 X 5 (this means 1 set of 5 repititions - not including warm-up sets)

Dumbell Swings - 3 X 10
We are going to be doing these workouts Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, rotating the workouts(for example Monday = Workout A, Wednesday = Workout B, Friday = Workout A, Next Monday = Workout B).
On Tuesday and Thursday we will be working on Form, Strength Concepts, or Active Rest activities. Since we are just begining, each workout it is essential for you to make a strength gain. I expect your strength to increase with each workout! We need to be able to measure this progress!
What are some ways that we will be able to show that you are increasing in strength each workout? What are some things we need to do to ensure your are increasing strength with each workout?
