Exemplary Grade A Student exhibits significant understanding of adjustment to external variables, pattern variation, misdirection (faking),reaction time , peripheral vision and kinesthetic awareness. In addition to consistently meeting grade or course level expectations, student demonstrates flexible application of skills and is able to transfer learning to new situations.	exemplary motion/movement adjustment because of velocity exemplary action of non-throwing/striking arm exemplary hand-eye coordination exemplary flight pathway interception point	WATER POLO : exemplary technique when  swimming with the ball and consistently effective  evading opposing players HOCKEY: exemplary technique when striking the ball and consistently effective at adjusting the velocity and direction of the ball Tchoukball : exemplary technique when throwing the ball and consistently effective at adjusting the velocity  and direction of the ball	Water Polo: To pass correctly, a small amount of backspin should be placed on the ball. This is accomplished by snapping the wrist forward and letting the ball "ride" off the three middle fingers. A ball with backspin is far easier to catch and control.         The elbow must be raised well above the surface of the water. With the elbow properly raised, players are throwing from "on top" and accuracy is greatly improved. When throwing short passes, the elbow should be up and slightly forward. When throwing longer passes the elbow should be up and drawn back. The shoulders must rotate with the pass. To accomplish this, players must lead with their opposite, non-throwing shoulder. As the ball is being passed, the left shoulder should forcibly rotate to the left; the right shoulder (throwing shoulder) should rotate forward and slightly to the left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z62O0_2QDkE
Meeting Expectation Grade B Student exhibits understanding of adjustment to external variables, pattern variation, misdirection (faking), reaction time, peripheral vision and kinesthetic awareness.  Student consistently meets grade or course level expectations.	developed motion/movement adjustment because of velocity developed action of non-throwing/striking arm developed hand-eye coordination developed flight pathway interception point	WATER POLO : Effective technique when  swimming with the ball and is often effective  evading opposing players HOCKEY: Effective technique when striking the ball and can often adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball Tchoukball : Effective technique when throwing the ball and can often adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball	HOCKEY: In preparation for the hit a players left shoulder should be pointing at the target, with their head down and over the ball. The feet should be shoulder width apart, with the ball in line with the front (left) foot. The weight should be evenly distributed between the balls of the feet, knees bent, and hands in the shake-hands grip but both at the top of the grip. To execute the shot the left arm should be almost straight, and the right arm a little flexed with the elbow tucked in. Once in this position start transferring body weight forward onto the left leg and hip as swinging down with the stick. Players hands and wrists should be aligned at the bottom of the swing, and the head of the stick should strike the back, lower half of the ball. In the follow through all body weight should be transferred onto the front leg, knees should remain flexed, and eyes on the ball when striking and watch it start its journey. The arms and stick should finish in line with the target. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMwhsddRtTg
Approaching Expectation Grade C Student exhibits partial understanding of adjustment to external variables, pattern variation, misdirection (faking),reaction time , peripheral vision and kinesthetic awareness.  Student is successful in tasks using simple skills, but struggles with the more complex ideas and actions. Student inconsistently meets grade or course level expectations.	developing motion/movement adjustment because of velocity developing action of non-throwing/striking arm developing hand-eye coordination developing flight pathway interception point	WATER POLO : Developing technique when  swimming with the ball and can sometimes effectively  evade opposing players HOCKEY : developing effective technique when striking the ball and can sometimes adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball TCHOUKBALL: developing effective technique when throwing the ball and can sometimes adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball	TCHOUKBALL : Stand side on to target. Opposite foot to throwing arm forward. Throwing arm starts behind head, with elbow bent at 45 degree angle- ball held high. As ball is began to be moved forward, hips and shoulders rotate forward too for power. Throwing arm follows through, down and across body. Catching. Cupping shape made with hands. Absorb impact of the ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT64q4WaxqI
Below Expectation Grade D Student exhibits limited understanding of adjustment to external variables, pattern variation, misdirection (faking),reaction time , peripheral vision and kinesthetic awareness . Student has minimal success in using the concepts and skills, both simple and complex. Student seldom meets grade or course level expectations.	limited motion/movement adjustment because of velocity developing action of non-throwing/striking arm limited  hand-eye coordination limited  flight pathway interception point	WATER POLO : Seldom uses effective technique when  swimming with the ball and can seldom effectively  evade opposing players HOCKEY : seldom uses effective technique when striking the ball and can seldom adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball TCHOUKBALL: seldom uses effective technique when throwing  the ball and  can seldom adjust the velocity  and direction of the ball
