After students are done with their warm up they will line up at the black line and
we will go over today’s activity.
First we will review the rules of eclipse ball.
SUMMARY OF RULES AND SCORING:
1. The serve is made from ¾ court or further back. The serve is always
underhand.
2. Only the serving team can score, except in a “play-it” situation.
3. A ball that lands on the line is always in bounds.
4. Balls that hit the net and go over while serving or during play
are ALWAYS good.
5. Player rotation is like that in volleyball, clockwise. You may decide on the
placement of players according to your strategy.
6. A player must not enter another team’s court in any way to play
the ball. You may go out of bounds to play a ball that come from your team’s
side of the court.
7. The ball hitting the ceiling is out of bounds.
Then I will ask them what strategies they used last class to score points

Teams will rotate every 8 minuets
