ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Dribble using an inside-inside pattern

Soccer Unit | Level 6

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to dribble using an inside-inside pattern.

IMPORTANCE
Dribbling using an inside-inside pattern is important because it improves your rhythm and ability to use different parts of your feet while controlling the ball.

VOCABULARY
Ankle: the joint connecting the foot with the leg.

When dribbling using an inside-inside pattern, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up on the baseline shoulder-to-shoulder. Put your ball on the ground in the control position. When I say, “GO!” dribble your ball to the midline and back. Do not bump into anyone else or let your ball go more than two feet in front of you.
2. When I say, “GO!” dribble to the end line and back.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Mr. Skunk. In this game, you are a group of very sneaky students wondering what time it is. Your goal is to dribble using an inside-inside pattern for every hour of time that Mr. Skunk calls out.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up on the baseline with your soccer ball.
• Mr. Fox will stand at the opposite end of the field with his/her back turned.
• As a class shout, “What time is it Mr. Skunk?”
• Mr. Skunk will respond with the time (ex: “It’s 3 o’clock or it’s 7 o’clock”) or “It’s dinner time!”
• If Mr. Skunk responds with the time, you must take that many dribbles forward using an inside-inside pattern with your ball.
• If Mr. Skunk responds with, “It’s dinner time!” you must turn and dribble back to the baseline without getting sprayed by his/her stinky scent (tagged).

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students to be honest and only dribble as many times as Mr. Skunk says.
  • Consider allowing the students to make it back to the baseline without being tagged for the first few rounds.
• 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: 
  • When dribbling the ball, keep your ankle locked and toes __________.
  • How might your encourage a classmate who is having a difficult time dribbling the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Keep It Close. Your goal is to protect your soccer ball from the sweeper (teacher) by dribbling using an inside-inside pattern.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, line up shoulder-to-shoulder with your ball on the baseline. 
• When I say, “GO!” start dribbling your ball anywhere inside the field using an inside-inside pattern.
• I will try and kick your ball so that it goes outside of the boundary cones.
• If your ball gets kicked out, you become the sweeper and try to kick another student’s ball outside the boundary cones.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students to keep their heads up while dribbling to avoid bumping into others.
  • Remind students the closer they keep their ball to their body, the less chance it will be kicked out by someone else.
• 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: 
  • When dribbling the ball, keep your ankle locked and toes __________.
  • How might your encourage a classmate who is having a difficult time dribbling the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Gumdrop Sort II. In this game, you are all workers at a gumdrop factory. The gumdrops (soccer balls) need to be sorted and loaded into the proper containers (hula-hoops). Your goal is to dribble using an inside-inside pattern to sort the gumdrops correctly into the right containers.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, place one foot in the center container.
• At the beginning of each round, I will tell you how many gumdrops need to be in each container.
• When I say, “GO!” take a gumdrop from the middle and dribble it to a container using an inside-inside pattern.  
• You may only take one gumdrop at a time. 
• You must work with your classmates to keep track of how many gumdrops are in each container.
• We will begin a new round once all the gumdrops have been sorted.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students to keep their heads up while dribbling to avoid bumping into others.  
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
