TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to play goalkeeper.
IMPORTANCE
Goal keeping is important because it is the most crucial role for a team's defense.
VOCABULARY
Goalkeeper: the player defending the goal.
When playing goalkeeper, it is important to:
1. Stay within the arc.
2. Be in the ready position (feet shoulder width apart, knees bent slightly, and stay on the balls of your feet).
3. Goalies can catch, grab, and hold the ball.
PRACTICE
- I will divide the class into groups of three. With your group, Ro Sham Bo to decide who will be the goalie first. When I say "GO!" the two other teams can begin in a face-off to gain possession of the ball and shoot on goal. Once a goal is made or three minutes have passed, switch out goalies.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing World Cup. In this game, the objective is to goalkeep as each team is trying to score on goal.
INSTRUCTIONS
- I will divide the class into teams of two.
- I will choose one student to begin as the goalie.
- Before the game begins, decide with your team which country you will represent.
- When I say, “GO!” the goalie will throw the ball out and teams may begin competing against each other to score a goal.
- If the ball is knocked out-of-bounds or a goal is made, the goalie will throw the ball back into the game.
- Take a seat on the sidelines if your team scores a goal and wait to play in the next round.
- The last two teams competing will not advance to the next round and will sit the rest of the game on the sidelines.
- The winner of the World Cup will be the last team remaining in the final round.
Game 1: Play as indicated above. Choose a new goalie for each new game.
Variation: If the game is moving slowly, add a second ball.
Exit Ticket: Students form a line with one student as the goal keeper. Once a student has shot on goal, he/she will then take a turn to be the goal keeper.
TEACHING TIPS
- Approach:
- Depending on class size, create teams of three.
- Divide teams based on athletic ability.
- Consider enforcing a passing rule before scoring (must pass to your teammate before scoring) if not all students are participating.
- ELL Accommodation:
- Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
- Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
- SpEd Accommodation:
- Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications.
- Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
- Allow students extra time to master the skill.
- Reflection:
