Lesson Procedures
- Introduction (5 minutes): - Gather students in a circle and discuss the importance of teamwork in soccer. Ask students if they have played soccer before and what skills they think are essential for the game. 
- Set objectives for the day, explaining that they will focus on dribbling and passing. 
 
- Warm-Up (10 minutes): - Conduct a dynamic warm-up including high knees, butt kicks, and lateral shuffles to prepare students for physical activity. 
- Finish the warm-up with a light jog around the gymnasium while emphasizing proper running form. 
 
- Instructional Strategies (15 minutes): - Dribbling Drill: - Set up cones in a zigzag pattern (10 yards apart). 
- Instruct students to practice dribbling the ball through the cones using both feet, focusing on keeping the ball close. 
- Provide individual feedback as students rotate through the drill. 
 
- Passing Drill: - Pair students up 5 yards apart and have them practice passing the ball back and forth. 
- Emphasize the importance of using the inside of the foot for accurate passing and following through on their kicks. 
- Encourage them to communicate with their partner during the drill. 
 
 
- Activity (20 minutes): - Small-Sided Games: - Divide the class into four teams of five students. 
- Set up two small fields (15 x 20 yards) using cones. 
- Each game will last 8 minutes, rotating teams after each match. 
- Students will apply dribbling and passing skills learned earlier, while also implementing basic soccer rules (e.g., no hands, offside rules). 
 
 
- Closure (5 minutes): 
Assessment
- Formative Assessment: - Observe students during drills and games, providing feedback on their technique. Take notes on individual student performance to tailor future lessons. 
- Use peer assessments by having students give constructive feedback to their partners during drills. 
 
- Summative Assessment: - At the end of the unit, students will participate in a soccer match where they will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate the learned skills and knowledge of game rules. Additionally, a quiz on soccer rules will be administered. 
 
Modifications/Differentiation
- For students needing additional support, provide one-on-one coaching during drills. 
- Create smaller groups for less experienced students, allowing them to practice skills without pressure. 
- Offer alternative activities (e.g., kicking a stationary ball) for students with mobility challenges.
