Specifically this game helps students focus on dribbling with feet using control and moving to open spaces. Have students come and sit in the middle of the playing area so you can explain the game to them.
In this game there will be people with a noodle trying to tag you from the shoulders down. If tagged, just like Noodle Dance Tag, you will do a fist pump and move side to side or another type of dance or movement if you want to switch it up.
When the players with the ball see that you are frozen, they will call your name and give you a pass using the inside of the foot. IF you can trap the pass, you are unfrozen and can take the ball and try to pass to someone else. The person who passed the ball to you will now run around and try to avoid being tagged.
Equipment Needed : noodles and gatorskin balls or soccer balls for every students. On the whistle, students must immediately stop the ball. A player who continues to dribble after the whistle is blown must head to the back of the group.
The same is done when a player is lacking ball control. Passing through gates is a great follow-up to the dribbling through gates drill. Students partner up and try to pass through as many gates as possible in a given amount of time. Once a partner passes through a gate, she then runs to position herself at a different gate. Meanwhile, the partner who received the pass quickly dribbles to the gate where her partner is waiting.
Pass and go! Our goal in any of our units is to provide as many touches as possible throughout an activity. When we do play actual soccer games, we play on small fields with no more than five players on each team. In this setting, students have numerous opportunities to be a part of the action.

This is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing! Leave a Reply Cancel reply. So I try to work in some fun modified games in addition to the station activities with the soccer goals and we can usually get into some pretty decent gameplay by the end of the unit.
One of our favorite games is Soccer Spot Shot, which is a spin off of a game I play in our basketball unit , so my kids are pretty familiar with the rules already which is helpful. Basically, you split up into teams and practice shooting the ball using your laces or the inside of your foot from different polyspots around the room.
If you make it — you get to keep the spot! You can see an example of the game in the instagram post below :. Both of these resources are available in our membership info on the membership here and are also for sale on our Teachers Pay Teachers Page. Hi there!
I enjoyed reading your blog about teaching a soccer unit. You have many great ideas, as you have definitely considered the pandemic and how to keep students safe. I am actually a collegiate soccer player and I truly think you do well to cover all the fundamental skills. You have many activities that will help to keep learners engaged. I am sure they enjoyed and will continue to enjoy this unit in the future.
