Soccer!

Soccer Golf

The last couple of weeks we have working on soccer. Soccer is a great sport which offers physical fitness and motor skill development such as kicking, passing, shooting, running, strategies, and teamwork. We have done several different soccer activities to work on motor skills.

Soccer Golf-

The object of the game is to use your leg and foot as the golf club, the soccer ball as the golf ball, the poly spot as the tee and the cone as the hole. In order for it to count, the ball must hit the cone. Students should try to hit the cone with their soccer ball with the fewest number of kicks possible.

Circle Shoot-

During this game the students worked on dribbling the ball (with their feet), ball control, and strategy. The way the game works is that the kids dribble the soccer ball down the court and stop on one of the circles (all worth different points), and then shoot into the goal. The aim of the game was to be the first to get 50 points.
