-Head Up
-On your toes

Skill/Teacher Cues
DED
-demo
-explain
-demo

-Have a student say the skill cues out loud

Transition
10-12
Get in groups of 6 in 543
If you cant find a group come see me
Cones will be color coordinated
Will this team go stand on the purple cones, this team on
the yellow cones, etc.
If you are not standing on a cone in your group you will
be in the middle.

-cones will be placed in a circle

before hand
-if there are 10 students for
example, there will be 8 cones
set up

Skill Practice:
12-18
-Of the two students in the middle, one is offense and one is
defense
-One person on the outside has the ball. (one ball per
group)
-The offensive person is going to call out the name of the
person with the ball and they will pass it to them
-The offensive person will receive it and pass it back to
someone who doesnt have the ball
-They will have to move to an open space to receive the
ball again
-The defender is going to follow and defend them trying to
keep them from receiving/passing the ball
-Defenders will be told to go at about 50%
-Each person will get a minute of offense and a minute of
defense then we will switch

Let me see those skill cues

You dont have to say them
out loud but I should see you
working on them if youre on
offense in the middle
-Keep saying skill cues out loud
while monitoring game
Make sure if youre not in the
middle you are observing and
seeing if that person is applying
the skill cues or not

Transition
18-19
Everybody freeze
-Go over skill cues again
-Talk about how sometimes its not easy to move to an
open space, especially once you add a defender
When I say go you are going to have a seat in front of me
with a partner, your partner will be the person you were in
the middle with in the previous game

the ball (stop the ball) and the partner without the ball has
to move to open space, find their partner and receive a
pass from them

will do this for an allotted time

Go
Ok, the shorter partner may enter the general space away
from their partner

Transition
28-30
Everybody freeze
If you have a ball please return it to the bag and have a
seat in front of me
If you do not have a ball you may have a seat in front of
me

CLOSURE:
28-30
Today we learned how to do what? (wait for answer)
Its very important that in a soccer game, you can move to open space to really do anything (pass,
receive, score, etc.)
What other sports can moving to an open space be applied to? (waits for answer)
Now we see that moving to an open space isnt important just for soccer, that we really need it for
almost every sport.
