Period 6 General PE

Due Date: October 20th

Based on the different invasion games you are learning and participating in during this unit (flag football, basketball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee) what are similarities between the sports we have done?

All these games are very real-time oriented (basically meaning that it's not very taking-turns oriented and that the game is constantly moving). It also involves an area in which your team can score, usually on opposite ends of the field (more specifically, a soccer goal or the hoop or just a designated zone). Most importantly, it literally involves invading the other team's area to try to score in their goal. You are free to move around to open space or to block someone; you don't have bases, nets, or lanes to restrict when and where you move (only exception in the list is ultimate frisbee, where you cannot run around with the frisbee).

The similarities are that they all have to be played as a team. They are all basically the same,trying to get a ball into a goal causing the skills you learned in the first one to help you in the next

For all of the invasion games, everyone on a team must show teamwork and dicipline

Some of the similarities of the sports we are doing are that flag football, soccer, basketball, and ultimate frisbee, all need to make a goal. Also all of these sports need the teams to have possession of ball in order to win. Next, the sports for the invasion games are the same because they all need to pass the ball to one another for the team to win

I believe that they are sort of all related because you have to get the ball/frisbee into the other team's side, and pass from player to player to score.

They are all similar because you must have good team work skills. Also, you must have good leadership and you must have a good eye for your surroundings so you can see the ball or frisbee coming your way.

when playing the sports, the players have to have a lot of communication and teamwork in order to do well. Also, a lot of speed and endurance is needed for each sport.

There are many similarities of the invasion games. One of them would be that each of the games involves a double letter. For example, "flag football" has two double letters in the word "football" alone. With "basketball", a double 'l' occurs at the very end. "Soccer" contains a double 'c', and "ultimate frisbee" contains a very unlikely set of double letters for a sport: a double 'e'. Moving on from those similarities, another one would be that each game involved "invading" the opponent's side. For flag football, you had to "invade" the opponent's side to get to the end zone. For basketball, you had to "invade" the opponent's side to get to the basket. For soccer, you had to "invade" the opponent's side to get to the goal. (getting repetitive here?) For ultimate frisbee, you had to "invade" the opponent's end zone. Another similarity between the games would be that each game involved a ball/playing object, that each team tried to posess for as long as they could, or until they scored. In flag football, there was a football that the team tried to keep, in order to score. In basketball, there was a basketball that the team tried to keep, in order to score. In soccer, there was a soccer ball that the team tried to keep, in order to score. In ultimate frisbee, there was a frisbee that the team tried to keep, in order to score. That brings me to yet another similarity between the games: that each game involved trying to posess/keep that playing object/ball for as long as possible/until the team scores. Another similarity (yes, there's more....) would be that each game can have people going out of bounds. With some sports, like marathon running, or swimming, it's really hard for people to go out of bounds. With marathon running, you just follow the signs. With swimming, you just have to stay in your own lane. But with flag football, basketball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee, it's very easy to dribble/catch/run/dive/slip/walk/saunter/fall/jump/jog/drop-the-playing-object/step/dive-and-do-a-front-flip-but-miss-a-catch/etc./etc. out of bounds. The last similarity that I'm going to mention (I could go on for a looooooong time) is going to be the fact that each of them are sports. Seriously, not many people would think of this, unless they are trying to make a very sarcastic end-of-blog comment. But each and every one of the invasion games are not only "games", but are sports. Interesting.

Sorry, no weird story at the end this time.

A similarity between all the invasion games are that they are all team sports and are played with teams. They are also similar because the goal for all of them is to score the most points.

Each game invloves using teamwork and spotsmanship. Like passing the ball or frisbee. We have to work together so that we can score/

the similarities are that you have to pass, shoot, score, have team work, and communication.

Well so far we have done a little basketball, we have done flag football and ultimate frisbee.

I think between football and frisbee there alike in some ways but different in some ways as well.

football the object is to get a touchdown and frisbee you have to get a some what touchdown as well but the way you handle the frisbee and handle the football are different!

football you can only pass to one person and that person has to run for the touchdown

and in frisbee you can only take three steps and pass it on but you can pass the frisbee how ever many times you need to.

and basketball we havent really played yet but the objective is to pass the ball but you CAN NOT move with the ball (unless you dribble) but you can pass how ever many times until someone makes a basket.

so all of these games all have the same purpose which is to make a touchdown or to make a basket.

All the games use passing and cooperation skills. You have to catch in the end zone to score points. All of these games have the two teams playing different positions, as in the terms of defense and offense. Also to score points you have to make a goal overcoming the other team.

hmmm. These sports have many things in common. For instance, they are all invasion sports, which requires each player of each team to work together to 'invade' enemy territory and score a point. All of these sports also require a catching skill, either with your hands(football,basketball,ultimate frisbee) or with your foot(soccer).
Also, these games require lots of teamwork to get the ball(frisbee) to score.

All of the games have an area for both teams to earn a point, like the goal in soccer and the hoop in basketball. All of the are also conatant movement. You are always in the middle of the game moving and trying to get the ball or frisbee. These games also include a lot of teamwork to successfully score and get a point.

One similarity between flag football, basketball, soccer, and ultimate frisbee are that they are all played in teams. Also, you score in ultimate frisbee the same way you do in football. In soccer and basketball goals and baskets are earned by shooting the ball into a goal or basket. All of the games also involve running to receive passes.

the invasion games require you to work as a team to get the ball (or frisbee) into the goal. It also requires you to think of strategies on how to get the ball (or frisbee) into the enemy goal, or prevent the ball (or frisbee) from getting into your own goal line.

All the games are pretty similar in what you are trying to achieve. There are two teams trying to score points. You invade the other teams territory usually with a ball except in ultimate frisbee where you have a frisbee. Most of these games have similar rules with offsides and boundaries. The only difference is how you play the games.

Similarities include, you have to pass the ball or frisbee to progress up the playing field, communicate with your teammates, and ultimately score in the opposing team's goal.

All of these games have two goals on the opposite side of the field/court.
All of the games have to do with possession of the ball and defending
your goal. They also have to do with invading the opponent's area to score a goal. you have to play as a team, and cooperation between team members is important.

All these games are related in some ways. Football, Soccer, Basketball, and Ultimate frisbe all require teams and you play by gettig on to the other teams side of the field or court and score a goal, a tuchdown, basket. these games were very fun

All these games are very active and tiring because in order to do well, you must be constantly moving. They all have pretty much the same basic goal which is to get the ball/frisbee to the goal on the opposite side of the opponent's goal. They all require teamwork.

the similarities are that they all require teamwork. you also need to be able to work well with your team members, and cooperate well too.

One similarity between the games we have played is that they are all invasion games. In all the games you play, you must run to the other side in order to score a goal.

All these games require a team to really play a real game. Without a team, in games like ultimate frisbee, you could not advance at all because there would be no one to pass to advance forward. Football is the same that you need a full team to pass to, but the other team needs a full one too so they can cover the other players on offense. Soccer and basketball also need teams because playing one on one with each other sets it up so that if you get passed, the other player always scores so you need someone else to help out.

First of all, all of these sports involve a certain object which is thrown/kicked around and is meant to be taken/shot into a certain area which would give the team a point/goal. Also, these sports all requrie constant running and movement to either score a point/goal or to defend you hoop/goal.

The similarities between the games that we have played this quarter is that in all of the games require you to switch between defense and offense positions. Also you are reqired to have somewhat of a strategy inorder to get your ball, or frisbee into the reqired goal, the strategies include rushing the thrower or guarding a indivisual person, or just mainly guarding all the players at the same time.

all these games are played as a team and mostly requires players to pass the ball to other team members to score. all these games also involve a lot of moving around the field and teamwork and strategy to get the ball or frisbee into the opposite team's scoring area.

The similarities of the invasion games are that you are playing on a team and are trying to score points. Also on the games are alike because there are positions everyone has.

In all these games we have done during the invasion games unit we needed teamwork and couldnt win without it. In basketball, a player couldnt play the whole game himself because there is no way he would be able to mark the whole opponent's team to intercept passes, in soccer and ultimate frisbee, its the same, the whole team needs to pick someone to defend and when on offense they have to pass the ball around. In football, the running back couldnt always run the ball every play without getting tired. Also all the sports we did had something to do with using team work to get in open areas, receive the ball/frisbee from a pass and getting it to the opponents goal/endzone/hoop without getting an interception

All the games were related cause if your team didnt have control of the ball then your team didnt win.............-WiLL Casas

All these games are similar because the all invole teamwork, cooperation and sportsmanship. Most have to do with hand-eye coordination and they all involve patience. THese games involve invading the other teams side of the field. In order to win all of these games, you must be good at maintaining possesion of the ball, or frisbee as well as scoring with it.

All these games are related because they all involve teamwork. This is true because in soccer and ultimate frisbee u have to support the ball carrier in order to make a goal. In Basketball and football you ahve to use ur teammates for passing and scoring

Anonymous said...

All the games are very simillar because they all are two teams playing against eachother trying to get a common thing into a common area. For all the games there is an offense and a deffense, the deffense trying to prevent the other team from scoring and the offense trying to score. For example in football the deffense is trying to prevent the offense from geting the ball in the endzone, through various means, and the offense is trying to overcome the deffense and get the ball in the endzone. The defense is trying to invade the other team and steal the ball or frisbee from them.
