Objective: Receive a pass while moving

Soccer Unit | Level 21

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to receive a pass while moving.

IMPORTANCE
Receiving a pass while moving is important because it is necessary when a defender is applying pressure and you need to move to an open space to keep the ball in your possession.

VOCABULARY
Receiving toe: the big toe on the foot that will be touching the ball.

When receiving a pass while moving, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Stand five feet away from your partner at the baseline. When I say, “GO!” pass back and forth to each other while both moving towards the end line. Stop when you’ve reached the end line.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Rolling Boulders. Your goal is to receive a pass while moving from another teammate and make a shot on goal.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams (rollers and kickers).
• Before the game begins, rollers will line up single file behind the marker cones next to each goal. Kickers will line up single file behind a marker cone in the middle of the filed. 
• When I say, “GO!” kickers must start running forward.
• The rollers will then pass a ball to the closet kicker.
• Kickers must dribble the ball, then shoot on goal. 
• When you have scored a goal, retrieve your ball and give it to the next roller.
• The next kicker must wait until all balls have been retrieved from the goal before he/she can start running. 
• Once a kicker has shot, he/she becomes a roller on either side.
• Once a roller has passed, he/she becomes a kicker on either side.
• We will begin a new game when everyone has had a chance at each role.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • When switching roles, remind students to walk around the perimeter of the field, not directly in the middle, so they do not interfere with the students passing and shooting.
• 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: 
  • How high should your receiving foot be off the ground when a ball is passed to you?
  • What surprised you most about learning how to receive a pass?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Daytona 500. Your goal is to receive a pass while moving in order to catch up and tag the other team.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Before the game begins, each team will form a single file line behind a marker cone.
• When I say, “GO!” the first student in each line will dribble a lap clockwise around the course and will try to tag the runner from the other team.
• When you get back to your team, pass the ball to the next student.
• When passing the ball, kick the ball a few feet ahead of your classmate so that he/she can get a running head start.
• We will begin a new round when someone is tagged.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Remind students that communicating with their classmates is very important to be successful in this game. 
  • Divide teams equally based on athletic 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: 
  • How high should your receiving foot be off the ground when a ball is passed to you?
  • What surprised you most about learning how to receive a pass?

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Whirlpool. Your goal is to switch places with a kicker by successfully receiving a pass while moving.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select two kickers. Both kickers will stand in the center.
• I will select one whirlpool defender. He/she will stand in the middle circle.
• Everyone else will stand on the outer circle and must move in a clockwise motion.
• When I say, “GO!” the kickers will try and pass the ball to a classmate standing in the outer circle.
• If the kicker and classmate make a complete pass, they switch positions.
• If the whirlpool defender blocks a kicker's pass, they switch positions.
• Each complete pass must be made to a different classmate.
• We will begin a new game when every student has had a chance at each role.
