Name of Activity: Partner Soccer Dribbling Match

Purpose of Activity: To help students learn how to control their soccer dribble and trapping skills. Students will also learn how to play fair by competing against a partner.

Prerequisites: Students must know the cues for dribbling a soccer ball and must know how to trap a ball with their feet.

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Materials Needed: Poly-spots, one soccer ball for each partner set.

Description of Idea

Place 15-20 polyspots on the gym floor. Have students find a partner. If there is an odd number, one group of three will work fine.

The goal is for one partner to dribble the soccer ball over a spot and trap the ball on the spot with their foot. Each time the ball is trapped on a spot, a point is earned. The other partner tries to prevent points from being earned, so they try to steal the ball and dribble it to a spot themselves. Play the game continuously for a few minutes.

Once one partner scores a point, the ball is given to the other partner.

Remind the students that it may be difficult to score a point if their partners play good defense and do not let them dribble around them.

Variations:

Use a hula hoop instead of a spot to make it an easier target.

For students in a wheelchair use a hockey stick to dribble the ball.
