Teaching Soccer Kicks in early learning
Overview
A summary of lesson plans to help teach and understand the correct kicking techniques for a successful soccer kick and goal experience.
Soccer KICKS! are fun!
Standard 2- The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics relate to movement and
performance.
How can we improve our kicking skills in soccer and apply different techniques during a game?
Students will grow accuracy in proper kicking techniques by 50% when using the instep kick, inside-of-foot kick and outside-of-foot kick.
Soccer words to know!
Students should be able to identity and understand each of the above words with 100% accuracy.
soccer- A game played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball that may not be touched with the hands or arms during play except by the goalkeepers. The object of the game is to score goals by kicking or heading the ball into the opponents' goal.
inside kick- Hit the ball with the inside of your other foot
outside kick- As the name indicates, the outside of the foot is used for this kick.
addtional definition: While this is a tricky kick to learn, it can be the most versatile once perfected. In fact, pro-level players use the outside kick for a short pass, shooting, and even for taking corner kicks.
instep kick- the players use the instep of their kicking foot to connect with the centerline of the soccer ball and push it forward to a teammate
kick- a leg movement meant to move a object in the path.
Material needed
-Soccer ball to use during the activity to practice with
-soccer goal (or object to use as one)
-target cones these will be used to kick the balls at prior to using the goal
-floor tape is used to show were to stand to complete each kick to the target or goal
-paper to record your findings
-pencil to write down your findings
Lesson Procedure
1. I Do:
- Begin by demonstrating proper kicking techniques, such as the instep kick, inside-of-the-foot kick, and outside-of-the-foot kick.
- Explain the key points of each technique, including foot placement, follow-through, and aiming.
2. We Do:
- Watch instructional videos on "how to" kick provided in lesson
- Engage the students in a guided practice session where we practice the kicking techniques together.
- Break the class into small groups and have them rotate through different kicking stations to practice each technique.
- Provide guidance, feedback, and corrections as needed to ensure proper execution.
3. You Do:
- Give the students an opportunity to showcase their skills independently.
- Set up a small-sided game where they can apply the kicking techniques in a real game scenario.
- Encourage them to use teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship during the game.
Assessments
-teacher sets up a target practice area and watches each student take turns kicking the soccer ball with their footwork techniques.
-teacher observes how students tilt their foot for the correct connection with the ball when kicking.
-teacher shows and gives feedback to the students
Summative Assessment
Have the students demonstrate their kicking skills in a mini skills challenge. Set up different targets or obstacles on the field and have the students showcase their ability to accurately kick the ball and navigate around the obstacles. You can assess their technique, accuracy, and control during this activity.
Scaffolding for Gap Repair and Extended Learning Opportunities
| - Offer visual aids or cue cards with step-by-step instructions and illustrations to help them understand and remember the kicking techniques. - Provide additional practice opportunities and individualized feedback to ensure they grasp the concepts. - Consider adapting the activity by using larger targets or reducing the complexity of the obstacles, if necessary. - consider students with movement disabilities and extend ways to include them, with special wheelchairs or larger targets for more access. | Use visual demonstrations and gestures to supplement your verbal instructions, making it easier for them to understand. - Provide bilingual support materials or translations of key vocabulary related to the kicking techniques. - Encourage peer collaboration and pair ELL students with fluent English speakers to facilitate communication and understanding. | - Challenge them by adding variations to the activity, such as increasing the distance to the targets or introducing more complex obstacles. - Encourage them to analyze and evaluate their own kicking techniques, and ask them to provide constructive feedback to their peers. - Offer opportunities for high-ability students to take on leadership roles, such as assisting with instruction or organizing the activity. |
