Class details: 25 students in Year 8 Entry Level: In a class of year 8 students, there will be a wide range of skill levels. It is assumed that most will have minimal experience with Table Tennis. The structure of the lessons will begin by allowing the students to work on the basic skills and then move on to more complex skills and allow the students to practice these in a game context. Exit level: After completion of this unit, it is expected that all the year 8 students should have increased their knowledge of the game of table tennis. Students will have an increased knowledge in the rules and techniques and skills involve in table tennis, which they will then be able to apply in a game setting. Reaching the end of the unit, students will be able to demonstrate proficiently the following: -

Racket grip (handshake and pencil hold) Footwork Backhand Forehand Partner sequence Serve

Unit teaching guidelines (AUS VELS, POLT & e5 standards): Level 8: They participate in a variety of team and individual games and activities, using and building on skills and strategies from other sports as well as continuing to develop new, sport-specific, skills Students engage in activities which develop strategic thinking and tactical knowledge to improve individual and team performance in competitive sports or games. Students observe peer performance, developing and using criteria to provide precise about the performance of motor skills and tactics used in a specific sport or game They also monitor and analyse their own performance.

Winner - The winner is the first to 11 points. - If both teams are on 10, then the game must continue until one team is 2 points ahead. Skill Development Outcomes Basic -

Striking Skills Keeping an eye on the object Shifting weight from foot to foot Follow through with a continuing motion after the ball has been ed

-

Control over the placement of where the ball lands The grip of your hand on the handle of the racket.

Directional Hits - Striking an object in an upwards and downwards motion Hitting Styles - Striking an object using both forehand (using your dominant hand on your dominant side) and backhand (using your dominant hand on your non-dominant side) styles. Striking Objects in Space - Striking an object that is either moving or stationary Safety Considerations, Organisational and Equipment requirements: The first lesson of the unit will begin with basic safety precautions in order to avoid any injuries that are preventable. During this time, there will be emphasis placed on all tripping hazards such as benches, chairs, posts and connection s in the floor. The playing space for table tennis will also be spoken about, with reference to how close partners are to each other and what that means for racket and swinging space.

Supervision:      

All students are required to wear proper sports uniform and running shoes. No food or drink is allowed in class, except a water bottle. There are to be no jewelry or fashion watches to be worn in class. Sports watches are permitted. A thorough warm-up and stretching session will be completed at the beginning of each class to avoid injury. There must always be a first aid kit available. Before each lesson, all equipment is to be checked to ensure everything is acceptable to use.

Activity Selection:  

All table tennis balls must be hit in the same direction (unless playing a game). Every student should be given adequate space when practicing a skill, this is in order to avoid any injury or collisions.

 

Communication between partners during doubles matches is required to avoid collision. All equipment is expected to be used in an appropriate manner. Any inappropriate behavior, such as hitting other people or throwing the bat, will not be tolerated.

Environment:    

All hazards within the player area must be made aware of to the students (eg. Benches, posts, chairs, etc.) The flooring is expected to be dry and clear of any rubbish or clutter at all times. Students must treat the equipment and each other with respect and consideration. Each lesson should always be planned keeping in mind the space that will be used.

Equipment:        

Class set of table tennis balls Class set of table tennis rackets 6 table tennis tables Sashes Cones Tennis rackets Tennis balls

Space Required  

Gymnasium or hall Open outdoor area such as basket ball court

Organisational:     

Students must begin each class by lining up outside the room. Students can only enter to get changed once instructed to do so. Once changed, students are to assemble in a designated area. When everyone is there waiting, the roll can then be marked. Students must not move or touch equipment until direction to do so.

Assessment Methods 1. Cognitive Evaluation (40% of table tennis unit assessment) The unit will consist of one written test to show whether or not the students have learnt the concepts of Table Tennis. They must be able to describe the rules of the game; including: be able to describe the playing sequence and how a point is awarded. Students must also be able to describe some of the skills and techniques of table tennis.

2. Psychomotor Evaluation (60% of table tennis unit assessment) Improvement will be monitored by the teacher. At the beginning of the unit students will be required to set goals and demonstrate a plan of action to achieve these goals. At the beginning of the unit students skills will be recorded and then again at the end of the unit to monitor student improvement.

Students will be able to proficiently demonstrate: -

Racket grip (pencil hold and handshake) Serve Forehand and Backhand Playing sequence

Teachers will look for an improvement in refined motor skills and manipulative skills that are required in these table tennis techniques.
