Currently in our sixth and seventh grade PE classes we are beginning our SpeedBall unit. It is an activity that uses an indoor soccer ball and a combination of soccer, basketball and football. The game incorporates spatial awareness, eye hand coordination, and teamwork. Scoring occurs when the offense throws a touchdown(one point), makes a basket(two points) and kicks a goal(three points).
