Lesson Title: Side-Line/End-Line Soccer Subject Areas/ Skills Covered: 1.1b, 2.1a, 3.1a, 4.1a, 5.2c - Using kicking skills
Objectives: The students will perform previously taught soccer skills in a game of side-line/ end-line soccer.  The students will pass, dribble, trap, and block on defense. Equipment: Super safe soccer ball or volleyball trainer
Lesson: The teacher will explain the rules of the game first.  Remind the students to only use soccer skills to try and score.  Number all the players consecutively and begin play by calling 2 or 3 numbers and having them meet for a face-off.  The object is to score a goal by kicking the ball across the "sideline" and below the sideline player's shoulders.  The field players can move anywhere on the court (inside).  Sideline players must remain on the sidelines to protect the goal.  Sideline players can trap and pass the ball, but only field players can score goals.  If the ball is kicked over the sideline players' head and remains near the wall, the sideline player can throw it back  into the playing area.  No player may use their hands.  After a goal is scored, call 2 or 3 new numbers and play resumes.  If a goal is not scored in a satisfactory time, the teacher will stop the game, call the round a "tie" and call new numbers.
