This volleyball unit plan introduces 9th grade students to basic volleyball skills and techniques over 5 days. The plan aims to teach students how to pass, serve, and score with correct form so they can compete in volleyball. Each day focuses on a different skill like bumping, setting, serving, and spiking. Students will be assessed before and after the unit to track their progress in demonstrating the skills correctly. The plan incorporates using technology like viewing instructional videos, filming peer performances for comparison, and accessing online resources.

performs the given task, the other will film with a flip camera.
• Day 3 – Short video will be shown demonstrating proper
technique from professional athletes.

of a YouTube video link. This video is to portray an athlete
performing serving and spiking techniques and forms.
• Day 5 – Students will perform same tasks as day 2. The
student and his/her partner will once again film each
other. My assessment will be determined by the accuracy
of the correct motions, whereas students can also
compare their first video performance to the last.
