If you are familiar with Harry Potter, you will have heard of the game Quidditch. This module introduces students to Hoop Ball, which was inspired by the game of Quidditch. It focuses on fundamental skills and teamwork, and activities combine skill development and communication skills through a dynamic and supportive environment where all students can thrive.
Development of specific skills and strategies that include throwing and catching, chasing and fleeing, as well as flag pulling are targeted learning outcomes. This module provides lead-up activities and small-sided games aimed at developing movement concepts and movement patterns that can carry over into a variety of other physical activities.
In addition, the activities within this module develop and reinforce responsible behaviors, while introducing strategies and skills that require communication, teamwork, and cooperation in order to be successful. All participants are given the opportunity to explore the movement concepts in a fun and engaging environment where everyone can feel successful.
