3rd - 5th grades
A & B...Students will stretch and talk about teamwork and sportsmanship in sports. No run test will occur this week. Students will be quickly divided into teams and a meeting before the game will discuss rules, strategies and soccer positions. "5 Ball Soccer" will begin, one coach on each side of the field to keep goals and fouls. Scoring should be high and students should learn the basic concepts of soccer.
2nd grade
A & B...Students will stretch and run before advancing to the field. A review of punting skills will follow with an emphasis on "drop and kick". Students will be encouraged to drop the ball to punt, not throw up and wait for the drop to kick. Students will practice in groups of two, be challenged to catch their partners ball in the air or on one bounce, and then keep their own score. Students will advance to the soccer goal and then try to punt over the goal to their partner, counting catches their as well. We will discuss game rules for "Punt Ball" and students will then try to punt any ball over the soccer goal for points.
K - 1st grades
A...After a warmup and a "Freeze Game" to encourage locomotor skills and some exercise, students will learn about flag belts. We will spend time practicing putting flags on. Students will partner up and play "One on One" flag tag on the court. We will then advance to the field to learn some lead up games for "Hill Dill". Students will run across the field and not touch others flags, they will run across and be aware of out of bounds on the sides, they will stop on the end lines, they will leanr about the terminology of "out". We will put a student in the middle and run a few times across the field with the middle "monster" trying to pull their flags before they make it safely to the other side.
B...Students will warm up and do a quick jog. We will again review the flag belts and go straight to the field. We will do a few lead up runs to remember the "Hill Dill" rules and then play "Hill Dill". If time permits, we will do some other flag games like "Flag Tag".
