WEEK 11: KICKING / FLAG GAMES

2nd - 5th grades
A...Students will do a 5 minute stick run and discuss the 2nd nine weeks final exam in December. We will meet in the field in groups of two. Class will review the "Power Kick", encouraging students to strick the ball long and high on a stationary ball on the ground. Students will be instructed to step beside the ball with the non-kicking foot and strike under the ball with a bent foot for lift. Students will be encouraged to try and catch their partners kicked ball on no bounces or one bounce and keep totals. Next students will use a hoop and play "One on One Soccer" using dribbling skills to try and get the ball to touch the inside of the hula hoop. Next students will get on opposite sides of the center field line and play "Wild Kick" trying to drive the ball as far as possible over the other teams heads. Students with the least balls on their side wins the game.
B...Students will do a 2:30 No Walk test. Journals will follow and students will be given fitness test scores from the entire class and have to put them into a graph or chart. We will return to the field in groups of 2 to continue practice the Power Kick. Students will then play "Goal" where groups of three will try to score as many goals as possible. At about 20 yards away, one student will kick, one student will retrieve, and one student will be on deck for the next kick. Play must be fasst paced and balls going through the goal count one point and over the goal for three.
K - 1st grades
A...Students will do a 4 minutes walk/run. Flag belts will be reviewed and tested. Next students will get in groups of two and play "One on One Flag Tag". Students will be encouraged to spread feet apart and move feet quickly. Students will learn to put their flags back on quickly. We will advance to the field for "No Elimination Flag Tag" inside a pre-set circle. Students will pull other students flags. Out until they get their flags back on then back in!
B...After a long run around a spot inthe field, students will again work on putting flags on. Partner groups will play "One on One Flag Tag" again. Students will advance to the field for an introduction to "Hill Dill". We will work on the end lines, the side lines, crossing the field, the safe line, and how the middle person pulls flags. This is in preparation for the real game, which may be played by 1st grade.
