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 using one-touch passes while both moving towards the end line. Stop when you’ve reached the end line.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Whirlpool II. In this game, the objective is to one-touch pass the soccer ball successfully to a teammate without it being stopped by the whirlpool defenders. 

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 kickers 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.

TEACHING TIPS

INSTRUCTIONS

• 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.
