1. Objectives (Specific, Behavioral, Assessable)

A. Student:

1. By the end of the class, students will be able to pass a soccer ball to a target accurately at least 3out of 5 times, using the mentioned as well as the passes mentioned.

a.      a.“Shoelaces”, the students will pass the ball using the top of their foot, their shoelaces.

b.      b.“Under the Foot”, the students will receive the ball with the bottom of their foot.

c.       c.“Inside”, the students should pass and receive the ball with the inside of their foot. 

d.      d.“Shoulders Square”, the students will keep their shoulders square to the target that they are passing to.

e.      e.“Follow Through”, the students will follow through with their kicking foot pointing at the target.

f.        f.“Pillow Feet”, the students will cushion the ball and give to it when they receive it.

2. Students will demonstrate proper knowledge of the cues taught by verbally reciting them and demonstrating them at the end of class.

 

B. Teacher:

1. Teacher will establish management protocols of boundaries, signals, and the use of equipment.

2.      2.Instant Activity:

Materials Needed: Cones for general space, balls to dribble with the feet 

Description of Idea

Have half of the class stand in general space with their feet apart (i.e., Statues). Have some students stand with their feet far apart, some at medium distance apart, and some with their feet just far enough apart for the ball to go through. The other students will get a ball and stand wherever they want in general space with their ball at their feet. They are the Dribblers

On the teachers signal the Dribblers are to dribble the ball with their feet throughout the space trying not to lose control of the ball (important cue "soft taps on ball"). When they come to a Statue they are to "foot pass" the ball through the statues feet and quickly run around the statue and trap the ball on the other side of the statue. (NOTE: They can't make the pass from behind the statue-it must be from the front of the statue). They continue dribbling from there trying to keep control and finding other statues to pass the ball through. Switch dribblers and statues. 

Teaching Suggestions:

Encourage students to use "very soft taps" on the ball for control 

Statues can't take the ball from the dribbler 

Make sure the statues are standing far away from other statues so there is room to get ball on other side 

Variations:

Challenge them to go through as many statues as possible a minute or two 

Use cones in place of the student statues 

After passing the ball through a statue have students go around a cone that is lining the playing area

3.  Set Induction:

How many of you boys and girls have ever been in a pillow fight? Did you ever get hit really hard with a pillow? Pillows are neat inventions because they are so soft and they allow you to rest your head on something soft to help you sleep better. If you used a rock it wouldn’t be as comfortable would it? The reason for this is because the pillow acts as a cushion when it receives your head onto it. Guess what we are going to become today? Pillows! We are going to learn to use our feet in such a way that when someone passes a ball to us, we cushion the ball to stop it, just like a pillow would your head.

4.  Content Development -- see next attached page

5.  Closure/Assessment:

6.  Equipment: (for a class of 30 students)

1.      1. 30 soccer balls

2.      2. 12 cones (or stationary objects)

3.      3. 4 Hula hoops
 

 

7. Protocol

·         ·“Stop” = Stop whatever you are doing, put hands on hips and face the teacher

·         ·“Grapes” = Bring it in to the teacher, gather around and listen.

·         ·“Go” = Begin the task previously described.

8. Class Rules:

- Be respectful of everyone at all times

- Follow instructions

- Be enthusiastic

- Don’t wear your own shoes (Put yourself in other peoples’, the idea of considering how someone else might feel and showing deference to them.)

MAF/Instructional technique

Extensions

Refinements

Applications

·         All of the soccer balls should be contained within the 4 hoops.

·         The students should face you, you then have them face each other and the person across from them is their partner for the rest of the day.

·         Sets of partners should then line up on two lines that face each other with about 10 feet between each set of partners on both lines. The students will be passing the balls back and forth to each other. Their should only be about 10 feet separating the two lines at first.

 

 

 

Informing Task: When I say go, I want you to quickly and quietly go and get a soccer ball and come and sit down in two even lines facing me. Go

Informing Task:When I say go, begin passing the ball to your partner using the inside of your foot as we learned yesterday. The other partner will receive and trap the ball with the inside of their foot and then pass it back. 

 

1. Take one large step away from your partner and begin trying to pass the ball to your partner and receive it when he or she passes it to you. Use crisp passes but slow enough for your partner to be able to receive the ball.

The first cue we learned yesterday for passing was to keep your shoulders square. Your shoulders should be parallel to your partner. You should be using the inside of your foot to form a parallel line with your partner in order to have an accurate with your pass. The person receiving the ball needs to remember to use the inside of their foot as a cushion, pillow feet. Let the ball hit the inside of your foot and then quickly bring your foot into your body more, cushioning the ball. Your foot must give to the ball as a pillow does to your head, your foot can’t be stiff. (Demonstrate this for the students.)

How many times can you pass the ball accurately to your partner and have them cushion the ball correctly.

 

2. Take as many steps back from your partner as you feel comfortable and begin passing the ball to them.Use good crisp passes if you feel comfortable to move back.

Remember, you must follow through keeping your foot parallel to the wall in order to have an accurate pass, this is the follow through for the inside of the foot pass as we learned yesterday. Remember, if you are receiving the ball, use your pillow feet. Give to the ball a little so that it doesn’t bounce right off your foot.

How far back can you go from each other and still be accurate and still be able to cushion the ball with the inside of your foot. 

 

3. If this is too easy for you, try using your non-dominant foot to pass and to trap the ball with the inside of your foot.

Remember to keep your shoulders square to your target when receiving the ball and when passing the ball.

Try closing your eyes at the last second as the ball contacts your foot. You should be able to feel your foot move back to receive the ball like a pillow. 

Informing Task: When I say go I want you to begin passing the ball at your partner using the top of your foot. Not the person receiving the ball must use the second way to receive the ball. This is to lift up your toe and let the ball move under your foot as you cushion it back but apply pressure to the top of the ball to trap it and stop its movement. (Demonstrate this with a student, check for understanding.) 

 

1. Take one large step away from the wall and begin trying to pass the ball at the spot on the wall continuously, when the ball comes back to you, pass it again. Start over when you get out of control.

The same cue of keeping your shoulders square applies to this style of pass too. Your shoulders should be parallel to your partner. You should be using the top of your foot to form a perpendicular line with your partner. Remember to still use pillow feet even though now you are receiving the ball by trapping it on the top of it, under your foot.

How hard can you pass the ball to your partner and they still trap it so that it does not bounce off their feet at all?

 

2. Take as many steps back from your partner as you feel comfortable and begin passing the ball at them. 

Remember, you must follow through keeping your foot perpendicular to your partner the entire swing and follow through, in order to have and accurate pass. When you receive the ball stay light on your toes, and use your pillow feet.

How many perfect passes and receptions can you and your partner make in a row?

 

3. If this is too easy for you, try using your non-dominant foot.

Remember to keep your shoulders square to your target and use your heel to finally bring the ball to a complete stop.

 

Informing Task: Grapes, combine with another partner group to form a group of four. Select one person to go and put one soccer ball away. Go. When I say go, two people will be on one line and two on the other. The side without the ball will have one person jog toward the side that has the ball. The side that has the ball will have one person pass it to the person jogging toward them. Both the passer and the receiver will finish on the other side of the line. Begin jogging toward your partner and as they pass the ball to you, either stop and trap it or pass it back to them. You may use either passing or receiving technique we have learned. 

 

1. Run faster at your partner than before, still using either the trap of the pass back.

It is very important to keep your shoulders square to your partner in this drill. Use your feet as pillows to really cushion the ball if you choose to trap it.

Try having the passer call out what style you must trap the ball with. 

Informing Task: Grapes. When I say go, quickly and quietly place your soccer ball in the hula-hoop you got it from and come back and sit down in front of me. Go

Closure/Assessment

Can anyone tell me by raising their hand and waiting to be called on, what are the two kinds of ways to pass, and what are the cues for them. Lets demonstrate them as we remember them.

-          Inside of the foot: Square shoulder to target, Follow through parallel

-          Top of the foot: Square shoulders to target, Follow through perpendicular 

Can anyone tell me by raising their hand and waiting to be called on, what are the two kinds of ways to receive or trap a ball and the cue for them?

-          Inside of the foot: Pillow feet: meaning to cushion the ball and give to it.

-          Under the foot: Pillow feet: cushion the ball under your foot and put pressure on the top of it to stop it.
