ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Shoot off the dribble

Soccer Unit | Level 20

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to shoot off the dribble.

IMPORTANCE
Shooting off the dribble is important because it is necessary to strike the ball accurately while a defender is applying pressure on you.

VOCABULARY
Plant foot: foot that is on the ground when a kick is made.

When shooting off the dribble, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. (Set up two cones five feet apart at the midline.) Form a single file line on the baseline with your ball. When I say, “GO!” the first person in line will dribble and try and shoot between the cones. Retrieve your ball, pick it up and bring it back to the baseline.
2. Repeat as many times as necessary.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Hungry Hogs II. In this game you are all hogs in a barn getting very hungry for feeding time. Your goal is to shoot off the dribble to get as much hay (soccer balls) as possible into your pen (goal).

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Before the game begins, line up single-file behind your team’s marker cone.
• When I say, “GO!” one hog at a time will run towards the middle of the barn, grab a barrel of hay, dribble it back to their pen and shoot.
• You may only take one barrel of hay at a time.
• The next hog can go when you have given them a high-five.
• We will begin a new game when there is no more hay remaining.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Increase the number of hogs allowed out of the pen at a time for larger class sizes.  
• 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: 
  • What should your ankle and toes look like when shooting the ball?
  • What did you like most about shooting the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Kick Out. Your goal is to shoot off the dribble and score a goal before the student behind you does.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two groups.
• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your group’s cone.
• When I say, “GO!” the first student in line will dribble forward and try to shoot on goal.  
• You must shoot off the dribble and cannot shoot while the ball is stationary.
• Once the first student has taken a shot, the next student in line can go.
• If you score a goal before the student behind you, you are safe and rejoin your group at the back of the line.
• If the student behind you scores before you do, you are eliminated.
• If you are eliminated, you may practice dribbling around the perimeter of the field or pass with another teammate who is eliminated.
• We will begin a new game when there is only one student remaining.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • When dividing groups, ask students if they would like to go into a ‘beginner’ or ‘advanced’ group. Usually, students will be honest about their ability level and will feel more comfortable playing with other students of the same ability.
• 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: 
  • What should your ankle and toes look like when shooting the ball?
  • What did you like most about shooting the ball?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Four Corners. Your goal is to shoot off the dribble to try and score on any of the goals while also preventing the other teams from scoring on you.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into four teams.
• Before the game begins, come up with a strategy for your team.  
• Each team must start with all students inside their goal.   
• When I say, “GO!” the ball will be thrown into the field and you will have to work with your team to score on any goal.
• You must pass at least once to a teammate before scoring.
• More than one ball may be thrown into the field at a time.
• We will begin a new round each time a team has scored a goal.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Divide teams equally based on athletic ability.
  • Increase the number of times students must pass to each other before scoring based on athletic ability of the class.
• 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: 
  • What should your ankle and toes look like when shooting the ball?
  • What did you like most about shooting the ball?
