ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Dribble using inside-outside pattern

Soccer Unit | Level 18

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

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

VOCABULARY
Alternate: occur in turn, time after time.

When dribbling using inside-outside 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 with your right foot only using the inside-outside pattern to the midline. When you get to the midline, put your ball in the control position.
2. When I say, “GO!” dribble with your left foot only using the inside-outside pattern to the baseline. When you get to the baseline, put your ball in the control position.
3. When I say, “GO!” dribble with your right and left foot using the inside-outside pattern to the midline and back. When you get to the baseline, put your ball in the control position.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Moving Towers III. In this game, you are construction workers trying to build the tallest tower. Your goal is to dribble using inside-outside pattern as you collect the necessary supplies to build the tower at the other end of the field.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Before the game begins, you must line up single file with your ball behind your team’s dot.
• When I say, “GO!” dribble to the first hula-hoop, using only your inside foot, and pick up a cone.
• Dribble to the next hula-hoop, using the outside of your foot, and pick up another cone.
• Dribble to the last hula-hoop, alternating the inside and outside of your foot.
• When you reach the last hula-hoop, construct your tower by putting the short cone on top of the tall cone.
• As soon as a teammate has reached the last hula-hoop, the next teammate may go.
• We will begin a new game once everyone has constructed a tower.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • To increase participation and limit wait time, put the hula-hoops closer together.
  • Remind students they should be dribbling and not kicking the ball far forward. Students should not be more than two feet away from their soccer ball.
• 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: 
  • Where should the ball be relative to your body when dribbling the ball?
  • How might you get better at dribbling the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Mr. Skunk III. In this game, you are a group of very sneaky students wondering what time it is. Your goal is to dribble using inside-outside 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. Skunk will stand at the opposite end of the field with his/her back turned.
• As a class you will shout out, “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-outside pattern.
• 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. Fox 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: 
  • Where should the ball be relative to your body when dribbling the ball?
  • How might you get better at dribbling the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Foxtails. Your goal is to dribble using inside-outside pattern while trying to pull someone’s foxtail (flag) before someone pulls yours. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• Before the game begins, spread out onto the field with your ball and foxtail fastened properly.
• When I say, “GO!” dribble anywhere inside the boundary cones.
• If your foxtail gets pulled, you must sit down.
• If your ball gets kicked out-of-bounds, you must sit down.
• If you pull someone else’s foxtail, while sitting down, you are back in the game.
• If you kick someone else’s ball out-of-bounds, while sitting down, you are back in the game.
• We will begin a new game when there is one fox left.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Give students more than “one life” to remain in the game.
  • 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.
• 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: 
  • Where should the ball be relative to your body when dribbling the ball?
  • How might you get better at dribbling the ball?
