ground S S
-When there is a goal the C
goalie starts with the ball
and passes it in
-When the ball is on the
ground you can also play
soccer with it for as long
as you want
-THE GAME IS
MEANT TO BE FAST
Students started off slow
because they had to get
used too the rules but once
they got used to the rules
they were really into it. I
had to really hold this class
accountable on the rules
during game play but
doing so helps them learn
and have a more enjoyable
experience. This class
loved the handball aspect
of the game much more
than my previous classes,
which is very interesting to
see how each class is very
X different. One thing I
would change is to review
the rules a little better,
C maybe with a visual to
help students understand
S SS C them a little better because
there are so many of them
in the game.

The teacher will split the

class into two teams a
play a small-sided game
with two cones marking
the goals. The ball has to
stay below the cones
when it is being shot

and soccer balls
