Unit Summary

This unit will apply a wider range of tactics and strategies through football. Increasingly complex approaches to attack and strategies to defend will be applied whilst enhancing knowledge of the rules and tactics specific to football. Pupils will also work on their organisational skills.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to turn and move at pace with the ball under control at your feet.

Key Notes

• Move: turn at pace using stepover, drag back and outside hook turns as appropriate.
• Move: dribbling the ball with both feet for close control and pushing it out in front to run on to when there's space.
• Think: a football requires more finesse when cushioning and also doesn't stay on the ground as easily as a futsal ball.
• Feel: continuing to try new ways of moving and turning with the ball demonstrates resilience and motivation.
• Connect: social responsibility includes applying the right amount of pressure to others to support improvement.

Vocabulary To Learn

• stepover: creating a circular motion around the ball whilst running with it in front to deceive the opposition
• drag back: a turn by placing one foot on top of the ball and staying in contact with it throughout
• outside hook: use the outside of the foot to hook the ball back in the direction you are going to go

Common Mistakes To Avoid

• Pupils make a big touch so they don't have close control of the ball. Pupils slow down after turning with the ball.
