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

The very first thing we did, Monkey in the Middle teaches us that in order to maintain posession of the ball we need to keep moving, and we need to get open for passes. This relates to soccer/floor hockey because we need to keep the ball/puck away from the other team, and to do that we have got to move around and get open for passes.
By focusing on man to man games we defend the goal better because if the attacking player's teamate is far away from the goal because they are being cornered by another person that prevents them from getting the rebound. This is similar to soccer because if you do not gaurd the other team properly then they will be able to use teamwork and kick many goals unless you use man to man defense.
We do man to man defence to practice the 'defending the goal' part.
In invasion games one must always defend their goal and attempt to score the other team by invading. This relates to floor hockey/soccer because one must also defend their goal.

When we worked on Monkey in the Middle we practiced on keeping the ball from the defender. After we focused on a man to man defense where the defender would have to stay between the offensive and the basket. This would force the offensive person to pass the ball instead of finding an open place to shoot. The relation is similar to soccer/floor hockey because to protect the goal/basket the defending team tries to stay with a person to intercept the puck/ball.
We worked on zone defense where we had to stay in our zone and stay as close to the ball as possible without exiting our zone. This is to defend our goal because by staying near the goal between the person with the ball and the goal it is easier to steal the ball when it is being passed or shot. This relates to soccer because by staying between the ball and the goal within our own zones, we can intercept the ball when people try to shoot it into the goal easier because it is the only thing you have to concentrate on.

Man to man defense teaches us how to guard a person. With one person guarding each person, someone always is being guarded, so no one will be left open. In soccer, you use this for intercepting passes, so you can take possession of the ball.
we practiced man to man. its when each person gaurds another person on the other team. that helps us keep an eye on the other team and get the ball away from them and block them from passing to their teamates. that helps in basketball because we can block their passes and help shoot baskets....

When we first started playing basketball and played three on three games, this helped us learn to create space and learned to move away from defenders and to not stand in one spot. In floor hockey and soccer, if you stand in one spot the entire game, then you won't be able to get open and score. You need to move away from defenders.
We did a version of monkey in the middle with a basketball to practice passing, and to mantain possesion of the ball. In invasion games always have to be defending the goal. This relates to soccer/floor hockey because in those games we allways have to gaurd our goal also.

Some activities we did were working on man-to-man defense and zone defense. This helped us learn to defend out goal better. With man-to-man defense, we stuck with one person and covered only our man. We also learned Zone defense, which helped us beat teams that had trouble with taking outside shots;we would usually get the rebound since we were all near the basket. This related to soccer and field hockey because these games lso require defense. In soccer, defenders normally stay back and defend the goal (somewhat of a zone defense, and the other players (aside from the goalie), stay further up on the field trying to score. Zone defense also relates to soccer because by staying back on the field, defenders or the goalie can catch or recover any missed attempt at a goal, whether it hit the post or not. In basketball, the defense always tries to get the rebound on a missed shot.

We've been practicing person to person defense to help us defend the goal by keeping us between the person and the basket/ their teammates. This is similar to floor hockey/soccer because in all Invasion Games, it's important to defend the goal well and try to keep the ball from reaching the person you're defending.

One of the concepts that we worked on was a zone defense. This helped teach us to spread out on defense and defend the goal. A zone defense in basketball is about the same in any other sport like soccer or floor hockey, you need to defend your area of the court/field.
Joe Kobylski
we practiced on zone defence and its also called man-to-man defence. This, you have to stick on your person that you are guarding. For this, they have a smaller chance to have open shot. This relates to soccer because you also have to stick on your man to make them hard to make a goal.
when we played zone defense and man to man, it showed us how to cover large areas of the court and let us practice the concept of defending the goal:in this case, the basket.
the games this week were good and in the games we practiced defending and attacking baskets in order to win we could use man to man or zone defense to defend the basket.

In the drill where we played monkey in the middle, or keep away ( I forget which it was called) we learned how to create or use space.
After a minute or so of playing, it soon became obvious that just standing in the same spot does not get you the ball any easier. We learned that you need to move around and try to get open, or just go where the other team isn't.
This concept is the same in soccer.
You don't want to be running near a defender if you're looking for a pass, but you would rather go to an empty space where you can get an easy, unchallenged pass.
By doing zone defense, we learned how to keep the ball away from the basket by guarding a bigger area. In doing this we tried to keep the opposing team from scoring. This relates to soccer/floor hockey because you have to be able to quard a big area to block the opposing team from scoring.
One thing in basketball that we worked on was defending the goal.In zone defense, each player protects a certain area. You use zone if the opponent is not good at scoring from the outside or to keep your team from tiring.This concept relates to floor hockey/soccer because the field is very large and each player covering a specific area is the best way to defend your goal.

When we played the keep away/monkey in the middle like activity with the basketball at the beginning of the year, it taught us keeping possession of the ball, as well as stealing possession of the ball. This relates to soccer/hockey because you often need to protect the goal in those sports.
When we did the zone defense it taught us to work together as a team and to help us stay spread out and defend the other team. In soccer/floor hockey well also need to be able to work together to defend the other team and to score and to spread out to be able to pass and to guard effectively.
Inviaion games helped us learn team work, and that helped us out in the basketball unit. And team work can relate to any sport, soccer and floor hockey. Invasion games also helped us learn out to mantain posession of the ball, which can help you in soccer and floor hockey as well.

We did zone defense which is when your opponent is in your zone, you go guard him/her. We also did man to man defense which is everyone guard one or another.
passing is good in basketball to use if your blocked or to use a steragy. this concept relates to soccer by teamwork of passing. also what i said in the first sentence relates to soccer.
P.S. i like soccer
Out of all the things that we did, i think the most helpfull one was the straight forward basketball practice. This not only helped get better at basketball, but it tought lessons for other games. by doing this, we learned to maintain possesion, get open, and get out there and take chances.
Justin Ulisney
when we had done momnkey in the middle we were practing moving ourselves to get the ball which helped us go to open spaces and make ourselves keep our eye on the ball and if we didnt keep our eyes on the ball the person in the middle might get the ball
Esgar Roque
We worked on person to person defense which helped us understand how to "defend the goal".This is similar to soccer/field hockey because you have to score on the other team's goal while protecting your own.

First of all, we did an activity that was like monkey in the middle with both a basketball and a soccer ball. In this drill we worked on keeping the ball away from the person in the middle, keeping the ball in motion, and our passes. This relates to soccer and floor hockey because wee need to be able to keep the ball away from the people on the opposing team and we need to accomplish that my keeping the ball in motion and having space so that your teammates can pass you the ball.
In class, we played a zone and man to man defense to defend our goal. Just like in hockey and soccer, you must always be covering something, whether its an area or person. Also, to create space between ourselves and the opponent, we moved around a lot so it is difficult to guard us. We also did juke moves, etc. to separate ourselves. We did this by playing Monkey in the Middle, where we had to get open in order for our teamates to pass to us and keep the ball away from the defender. This is important in hockey and soccer because if you ever want to gain and maintain control of the puck or ball, you must be able to create space between yourself and the opponent. Lastly, to attack the goal we passed around down below the basket to get the close shot. We also set picks to create a lane for tha ball-carrier.

In bball we started playing games of four on four and we had to stay in our position. This creates more space for the attacking team rather then being bunched up and having no space at all.This relates to soccer because you also have positions and you also have to create space.
keep it real Mr. Kirk and i will work harder on the running
-Hugo Coimbra
The monkey in the middle drill that we did with both the soccor ball and the baskeball not only taught us passing the ball but it taught us that we have to run and get around our defender to create open space. The concept is the same in basketball than it is in soccor.

If you are overloading your body, then it will be noticeable over time that the work is getting easier. Also, it should be visible that you are straining yourself and not just working at your comfort zone.
