Customized warm-up activities. (S and D turn)

-Have partnership lead 5 min. warmup.
-Have cones set up on field ready for game.

Practice snapping with 3 people per group.

Football drill: Simon Shows. They know how to play since we did it last class,
emphasize importance of knowing where the ball is at all times, along with
where others are so you are not running into each other. Keep head up at all
times, keep eye on coach.

Bow whistle: Line of scrimmage: offense and defense line up along line.

Accommodation /
Modification

If not prepared, talk

about how important it
is to come prepared,
otherwise they all run
laps for warmup.
Set up cones on field
for yards. Center line is
there, then do 2 sets
and the end line for the
end zone.
and

11:20

After
11:55

Players will pair off and begin 5 yards from each other.
Have players throw the ball back and forth.
Make sure players use the appropriate touch on the pass, according to
the distance they are from one until another.
After a few throws, have each player take a step back. Continue.
Next, make it a competition: pair that drops pass, sits down - go until 1
remaining pair.

Kick: sweet spot is about 2 inches down from center of ball, position
ball laces away from you, ball pointing up, someone can hold it with
their finger so careful with kicking. Have a stationary target in mind.
Take same amount of steps towards ball, be consistent in width. Be
about 90 degree angle back from ball. About 3 steps back and 2 steps
to the side.

Game
Start game flipping quarter to decide who starts. Winner
pick if want to kick or receive. Team can huddle to
communicate play or who they will pass to.
Quarterback yells hike for center to snap ball, throws ball to
someone on their team or does a handoff or can run. Can
only pass behind the line of scrimmage. Other team can
count to 5 Mississippi and then tag quarterback if the ball
hasnt been passed. When have touchdown, that is 6 point,
have one more try to get another 2 points from 10 yards
from end zone. Then they kick the ball to the other team
who runs to ball and runs until tagged.

Rotate football so
everyone gets a chance
with the actual football
and not just rugby ball.

Can repeat
activities as they
are having fun.
If they are not
listening, have
them run laps.
We will kick ball to
start game and
after touchdowns.
After 12 min. switch
sides of field after
1st and 3rd quarter.
Whoever has
possession of ball
keeps it. Second
half starts opposite
of who started in
first half (kicking
and receiving).

Cooldown stretch. Next week we will record parts of the game so you can
review it theory class to start your reflect and review project.

Self-Evaluation / Reflection:
I over prepared with activities, I only focused on the warm up and then kicking the ball.
I should have had partners move down the line instead of trading balls with how I had it set
up. S is having trouble partnering with other people. I asked S and D to be partners to lead
the warm up and S was set on doing it himself. They are learning the rules better, I need to
go over when it is ok to pass the ball and when it is not, they keep reverting back to rugby
rules.
