WEEK 13: SOCCER / KICKING


This week should be the middle of November, ending on November 16.

3rd - 5th grades
A & B...Our advanced PE classes will continue soccer this week. We will again use 5 soccer balls, work on defensive strategies, positions, and teamwork/sportsmanship skills. We will create different scoring opportunities with smaller goals inside larger goals.

2nd grades
A...Our 2nd grades classes will continue working on their kicking skills. We will work with a partner, trying to dribbling and control the ball, similar to a one on one game. We will line up on opposite sides of the field, facing partners, to create two equal teams. Teams will play "Kick Sty" to constantly kick balls to the other teams side. Our last activity will group students into groups of two or three behind a cone. Students will dribble zig-zag then pass to the next person in line continuously.
B...Students will dribble inside a large circle, continue playing keep away, then kick the balls of other students out of the circle while controlling their own. Students will then play "Steal the Bacon" with 5 to 8 groups around the field with their own hula hoop. Students will try to steal the ball from others hoops and dribble or run the ball back to their own hoop. We will end class with a goal shooting contest. About 15 teams of 2 will face the goal, kick the ball into the goal, and run the ball back to their partner. We will dribble the ball into the goal first then take a big shot at it!

K - 1st grades
A...Students will all have a ball and then kick and stop on the whistle, though almost continuously. Students will then kick with a partner, followed again by all students kicking their own ball from one end of the field to the other trying to score a goal
B...Students will line up around the perimeter of a large circle divided by a middle line. Students will attempt to kick balls out of the other side of the circle. Students can retrieve the ball and kick it back across the opposing side. We will end class with a goal shooting contest. About 15 teams of 2 will face the goal, kick the ball into the goal, and run the ball back to their partner. We will dribble the ball into the goal first then take a big shot at it!
