Objective: Step over move

Soccer Unit | Level 29

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to perform a step over move.

IMPORTANCE
The step over move is important because it allows you to beat your opponent and advance forward.

VOCABULARY
Dominant leg: the leg that is stronger and more easily controlled.

When performing the step over move, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Line up shoulder-to-shoulder on the baseline with your ball in the control position. When I say, “GO!” dribble to the mid-line, perform a step over move and then dribble back to the baseline. When you reach the baseline, put your ball back in the control position to indicate that you are ready.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing World Cup. In this game, the goal is to use a step over move to keep the ball in possession and score a 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!” teams will begin competing against each other to score a goal.
• If the ball is kicked 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.

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: 
  • Describe what the step over move looks like.
  • What was most challenging about the step over move and why?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Foxtails II. In this game, the objective is to use a step over move to dribble away from your opponent before he/she pulls your flag.  

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.
• Remember, there are no alliances.
• 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: 
  • Describe what the step over move looks like.
  • What was most challenging about the step over move and why?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Four Corners. In this game, the objective is to use a step over move to dribble past an opponent and have a better chance of scoring on any four goals.   

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: 
  • Describe what the step over move looks like.
  • What was most challenging about the step over move and why?
