Soccer Unit Starts October 27th!

This week we are beginning our soccer unit at Maple Avenue.  This unit is a three class unit that focuses on all different aspects of soccer.  This week our focus will be on discussing different pieces of equipment that are required to play the sport.  During this part of the class we will talk about shin guards, mouth guards, proper footwear, uniforms, and the balls.  After discussing equipment needs, the class is introduced to dribbling the soccer ball.  Here the students are shown how to make little touches on the ball.  These touches move the ball, but at a slow enough pace that keeps the ball within reach of the player at all times.  Each student is given a ball to use for the remainder of the class.  We will play numerous activities that focus on dribbling during the remainder of class.  This should be a fun filled unit!
