Name of Activity:
Dribbling 500
Purpose of Activity:
To reinforce dribbling/trapping skills in soccer.Prerequisites:
Previous practice using the instep while dribbling; previous practice trapping the ball; knowledge about moving clockwise/counterclockwiseSuggested Grade Level:
K-2Materials Needed:
Poly spots (as many as you can get); foam/soccer balls (1 per each student); 4 or more cones; upbeat music.Description of Idea
Place cones in a large circle (resembling a racetrack) on the gym floor or outside surface, and scatter poly spots around the outside of the cones/circle. (No one is allowed on the inside of the cones/circle.)
On the cue of music, have the students dribble the soccer balls, moving clockwise, around the racetrack. (Start with a speed limit of walking.) When the music stops, each child traps her/his ball on a poly spot. Students continue dribbling to the cue of music.
Note: Periodically change directions so children practice moving in both clockwise and counterclockwise pathways.
Assessment Ideas:
Visual assessment allows you to make sure all students can trap the ball.
Adaptations for Students with Disabilities:
Use larger or deflated ball
Students who use wheelchairs (typical upper-body strength): hold the ball on lap and push wheelchair
Students with visual impairments: put bells or beeper in ball; use deflated ball
