Assessment Plan (how will you assess student progress?):
- After a brief review and skill segment students will be asked to perform the drop-hit serve with a 75% success rate while having the ball land on the opposite
side of the net diagonal from them and in side of the court.
- After a brief review and skill segment students will be asked to perform the backhand/forehand groundstroke and volley with a 75% success rate while having
the ball land on the opposite side of the net inside the court.
- During games students will be able to show what good sportsmanship looks like, this will be determined on how they interact with their partners and
opponents. Do they give good feedback, do they help their partner out on deciding whether or not to hit a ball, do they talk to their partners, and make sure
they are not negative in any way.
Personal objective(s) for the teacher:
- Be more efficient when splitting students into groups
- Continue to learn students names
- Learn how to better interact and deal with kids who have a difficult time remembering what to do and who is in charge of the class
Pre-requisite Skills:
- Knowledge from previous class lectures and demonstrations along with practice of how to achieve the 4 basic strokes in tennis along with the drop-hit serve
- Boundaries on the tennis court
- General hand-eye coordination/ball striking skills
Modifications / Adaptations:
- 1 students has a broken wrist/arm on their dominant hand
o Encourage them to keep using their non-dominant hand and to not give up
o Have them do elbow planks instead of full extension planks or push-ups
Resources/equipment:
- 7 plastic paddles, 10 foam balls, 1 ball bucket, 10 poly spots, 3 tall cones, 2 long jump ropes
Safety issues to consider
- NLCA has a very slick floor so students will need to be wearing proper footwear to prevent sliding/slipping

cues where appropriate
Activities/Task Applications - include extensions or simplifications if
appropriate and instructions for drills, activity organization, LUG rules, etc.
3 Minutes
Warm-up
While the 9th graders are doing their pushups and sit-ups, the other four
teachers will each be in one corner of the court encouraging the 10 th graders to
jog around the court.
2 Minutes
Forehand Volley Practice
The teachers will pair up students, all students will be handed a paddle and at
least 1 ball (2 if equipment allows). Each student will start off 2 steps back
from the net, 1 partner will start off the Volley Rally with a drop-hit serve. If
the students find that they can hit the ball at least 5 times each without the ball
touching the ground, they will then take 3 steps back. If the students can
accomplish this while touching the ball at least 5 times each they will then
take 3 steps forwards and use their non-dominant hand. If this can be
accomplished 4 times in a row they may then take 3 steps back a repeat the
steps.

The teachers will pair up students, all students will be handed a paddle and at
least 1 ball (2 if equipment allows). Each student will start off 5 steps back
from the net, 1 partner will start off the Groundstroke Rally with a drop-hit
serve. Teachers will challenge the students to keep the ball in play using the
forehand groundstroke only for 30 seconds. If they can accomplish this they
will each take 2 more steps away from the net and then repeat the challenge of
30 seconds. Next the students will go to whatever distance is comfortable for
them and rally for as long as they can. The final challenge will be for the
students to each try and hit the ball 10 times before they lose control.
2 Minutes
Backhand Volley Practice
The teachers will pair up students, all students will be handed a paddle and at

the other pair will go to the opposite side of the net approximately 1 step back
from the net. The partner with the 4 balls will appropriately toss the ball to
their partner’s forehand side at about shoulder height. The partner with the
paddle has to return 3 out of the 4 balls across the net while staying inside of
the court. After 4 balls have been hit they will then switch roles, the person
who was tossing the balls will now be hitting the balls and the person hitting
the balls will now be tossing the balls.

1 Minute
Review Cues and Steps for
Drop-Hit serve
Students will circle up around the net for a brief discussion of the cues and
steps for the drop-hit serve. Each student will be asked to perform the steps so
the teachers can make sure that students know what they are doing because
later on in the lesson the students will be tested on their abilities to perform
this task.
1 Minute
Testing skills for Drop-Hit
serve
The teachers will pair up students, half of the students will be handed 4 balls
and a paddle and the other half will be handed just a paddle. The half with just
the paddle will go to one side of the net and stand at the baseline, the other
half with the paddle and the 4 balls will go to the other side of the net and
stand on their baseline. The partner with the 4 balls will use the drop-hit serve
method, in order to receive a 100 on this test the student will need to get 3 out
of the 4 balls over the net at a diagonal angle to their partner. The partner with
just the paddle will catch the 4 balls that were served over and hang onto them
until their turn. After 4 balls have been served the students will then switch
roles, if the student served the ball they will now catch the ball and if the
student caught the ball they will now be serving the ball.
1 Minute
Cues for how to begin a point
in a Tennis/Racquet sport
match
Students will circle up around the net for a brief discussion on how to
correctly put the ball in play during a match/game. They will need this in
order to play in the Games later on during the class period. Teachers will
teach the students how to say the score properly. Such as saying your score
first whether it is the lower score or higher score (Ex: 1 serving 2). Or saying
2 all if each team has 2 points.
5 Minutes
Singles Game –
Forehand/Backhand
Groundstroke/Volley
The teachers will pair up the students with their single game opponent. Each
student will go to the baseline on the opposite side of the net from each other.
The boundaries will be the baseline, sideline, and center court line. The games
will be scored using the rally point system; if you win the point you also get to
serve the next ball will score the games. The games will be played to 7 points;
the winner of the game will then play the winner of the other singles game
that was being played and the student who lost the game will play the student
who lost the other game. This will continue for 5 minutes.
10 Minutes
Doubles Game –
Forehand/Backhand
Groundstroke/Volley
30 Minutes
Doubles Round Robin
The teachers will pair up the students to form 2 doubles teams. Each team will
go to opposite baselines; the boundaries will be the baseline and the sidelines.
The serve will be in drop-hit form and must land on the diagonal side of the
court. The games will be played to 7 points; after the game is finished 1 player
from each team will switch to opposite sides and play with a partner they have
not yet had. Every odd game will be played with the players alternating turns
hitting the ball. Every even game will be played with the player hitting the
ball whenever it comes to them. This will continue for 8 minutes.
For round robin play there will be two courts for girls and two courts for boys.
The students will pick a partner of the same gender and then they will find
another pair of the same gender to play. All games will begin with a drop
serve and the scoring will be rally to seven points. The first team to serve will
serve two times (same server both times), then the other team will serve twice
(same server). Then the player on the first team who did not serve the first
time will serve twice, and same for the other team. Once a team has scored
seven points, all players must report to the teacher and have their scores
recorded. Players will then select a different partner to play with as well as a
different team to play against. This play will go on until every student plays
one doubles game with each person in their group.
