=//** __Name/Title:__ **//World Series of Lacrosse.= = = //** __Materials Needed:__ **//Lacrosse Sticks- one per student. 8-12 taller cones that a whiffle ball will rest on top of. 10-12 softball size whiffle balls. 2-3 dozen, (or more) yarn balls, or other soft baseball or softball size type ball. *** Regular nerf type balls do not work well- they are not heavy enough to fly across the gym.**

Objective/Goal: To win a game one team must knock the whiffle balls off the cones on the other side of the gym before the opposing team knocks the balls off their respective cones.

Skills: Picking up, (scooping), balls from the ground, Shooting, and Catching

Lesson Description: Divide class into 2 teams. Assign each team a sideline of the gym. Even with the SIDES OF EACH KEY AREA on the basketball court, put a row of 4-6 cones. Place the cones so that they do not align straight across from the ones on the other side. Put whiffle balls on top of all cones. If possible use a different color on each row. Teams throw the yarn balls at the row of cones on the opposite side in hopes of knocking the whiffle balls off of the top of the cones- THEY DO NOT WANT TO KNOCK DOWN THE BALLS ON THE ROW OF CONES CLOSEST TO THEM. The first team to knock over all the balls in their row wins the game. After shooting their shot, players scoop another ball from anywhere they choose, but they MUST return to the sideline before shooting again. Students can go out to the middle area to "sweep" balls back to their sideline teammates, BUT, they may not try to block shots from the opposing team. After the first game is over, replace the whiffle balls and play game 2. Play a best of 7 format just as in the World Series. One way to facilitate a more even Series is to have the teacher play for the team that is "behind" in the Series. If the games are tied the teacher does not play. Hopefully, the skill and prowess of the PE professional will get the Series to a game 7!!!
