Welcome Animo Students #3 and #4

I am really excited for the upcoming school year.  Here is how the next month is going to look

Mondays- Skills/ Fitness
Tuesdays- Pre-Fitness Assessments
Wednesdays-Skills/ Activity
Thursdays-Pre-Fitness Assessments
Fridays-Game Days

The Units we will be covering for the first quater include: Volleyball (learning the skills with a balloon/beach ball/then volleyball)  Eventually playing class tournaments.  Football (learning the skills with a nurf football, then a real football) and eventually class tournaments.  Health we will be discussing hydration, hygeine, and safety during the first quater. 

The class has daily routines of copying our homework/topic into our planner.  Proceeding to the do now (which is usually a quote of the day, or a skills test review), and then changing.  After the students change into their gym clothes we warm up, stretch, and do fitness/sports activities.  We cool down, review the days lesson, and change for our next class.

Pickle ball Rules

Game and Match

.....In tournaments, a match will usually consist of the best 2 out of 3 games to 11. A game is finished when one player or team reaches 11 points and is leading by at least two points. If the score is tied at 10-10, then the game continues until one player or team wins by two points. Players switch sides after the first game. If a third game is needed, the players will switch sides after the first player or team gets to 6 points, and the game will then continue to its conclusion.

.....For consolation events, or when time is short, matches often consist of just one game to 15 points. The winner in this format must also be ahead by two points. In a 15 point game, players should switch sides after one team gets to 8 points, and the game will then continue to its conclusion.

Serving

Pickleball is similar to Volleyball in that a player or team can only score points when serving.

Prior to 2007, players were allowed to step over the baseline with one foot when serving, as long as they kept at least onefoot behind the baseline until after they contacted the ball. However, the rule has been changed by the National Pickleball Association (USAPA) so that now both feet must remain behind the baseline until after the ball is struck.

• Players must announce the score prior to serving. Always call the server's score first!
• The serve must be made with an underhand stroke so that contact with the ball is made below waist level.
• Underhand Defined: The arm must be moving in an upward arc and the paddle head shall be below the wrist when it strikes the ball.
• Serves must travel diagonally and land between the non-volley zone and the baseline of the service court opposite of the serving player.

Each player is allowed only one serving attempt unless it is a “let” serve. A let serve occurs when the serve hits the net and still lands in the correct service court. If this occurs, the serve is played over. Each player will continue to serve until he does not win a point.

Serving in Doubles

• At the start of each new game , only one player on the first serving team is allowed a service turn before giving up the ball to the opponents. Thereafter both members of each team will have a service turn before the ball is turned over to the opposing team.
• In doubles , the player on the right at the start of a service turn, will be the first person to serve for their team and will continue to serve until he or she does not win a point. Then his or her partner will serve until he or she does also does not win a point. Then it is the other team's turn to serve.
• When the serving team scores a point, the server moves to the other side of the serving team’s court. The receiving team should never switch sides.
• If the serve rotation is done properly in doubles, the serving team's score will always be even when the player that started the game on the right side is on the right side and odd when that player is on the left side .

Serving in Singles

• In singles, the server will serve from the right when he has an even number of points (0, 2, 6, 10). The server should serve from the left when he has an odd number of points (1, 3, 7, 9). The receiver should adjust their position according to where the server stands.

Non-Volley Zone:

To volley a ball means to hit it in the air without letting it bounce. All volleying must be done with the player’s feet behind the non-volley zone.

• If a player's momentum causes them to step on or over the non-volley line after hitting a volley they have commited a fault and lose the point.
• If a player's paddle, clothing, hat, or any part of their body touches any part of the non-volley zone while hitting a volley or because of their forward momentum after hitting the ball they lose the point!
• A player may jump accross the no-volley line after hitting a volley if they don't touch any part of the non-volley zone including the lines while doing so.

Double Bounce Rule:

Each team must play their first shot off the bounce. That is, the receiving team must let the serve bounce and the serving team must let the return of the serve bounce before playing it. After the two bounces have occurred, the ball can either be volleyed or played off the bounce.

Faults

The ball may only bounce once per side. After the ball is hit by a player, it must travel to the other side of the net.

If the ball hits one of the sidelines or the baseline, it is a playable ball. When a player or team fails to win the rally they are said to have made a fault. Some, but not all of the things that cause a fault are listed below:

• Serving the ball into an incorrect area.
• Hitting the ball out of bounds.
• Volleying the ball before it has bounced once on each side.
• Hitting the ball into the net or hitting the net with your paddle or body.
• Hitting the ball while in the non-volley zone before it is allowed to bounce.
• Touching the non-volley zone with your paddle or clothes while attempting to hit a volley.
• Stepping on or over the non-volley zone line on a follow through.
• Missing the ball when you try to hit it.
• Server swings the paddle with the intent of hitting the ball but misses.

Leg Muscles

These muscles will be our focus this week.  We will learn about where they are located and what purpose they serve, also what sports you need them in.  

Gluteals – 

Gluteals--often referred to as "glutes"--consist of the gluteus maximus, which is the big 

muscle covering the buttocks, often referred to as the "butt." 

1. These three muscles are located on the butt:  the gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius, 

and the gluteus minimus. 

2. The gluteus maximus is the biggest and most noticeable of the three. 

3. The medius and minimus aren't as noticeable.  Both are located around the ilium, the large 

bony part of the pelvis. 

4. Together these three muscles help move the thigh out to the side of your body 

(abduction), as well as rotate and extend the leg behind. 

5.A strong butt helps in most all explosive, power activities, such as football, basketball, and 

hiking.  

Quadriceps – 

Quadriceps are located on the front of the thigh.  

The quadriceps' primary function is to flex the hip and extend the knee, very important in 

walking, running, jumping, climbing, and pedaling. 

Hamstrings – 

Hamstrings are located on the back of the thigh.  

The hamstrings consist of three muscles:  the biceps femoris, the semimembranosus, and 

the semitendinosus. 

The hamstrings' primary function is to facilitate flexion of the leg, and medial and lateral 

rotation, which is important in activities such as jumping, pedaling, walking, and running. 

Hip abductors and adductors – 

Hip abductors and adductors are located on the inner and outer thigh. 

The abductors are on the outside and move the leg away from the body.  

The adductors are on the inside and pull the leg across the centerline of the body. 

Calf – 

Calf muscles are located on the back of the lower leg. 

They consist of the gastrocnemius and the soleus.  

The gastrocnemius gives the calf its strong, rounded shape. 

The soleus is a flat muscle running under the gastrocnemius.  These small muscles 

can bear a relatively large amount of weight. 

This Week 3/28-april fools day

Our main focus is still the push for the physical fitness test! I would love to see every student pass 5 out of 6 components.  We will be doing a project on the muscles.  Students will draw out the muscles that connect to the bones they learned about last week.  We will take those drawings and make bodies.  Assessment on the muscles will be in two weeks.
