Scheme of work

• Establish a link between one lesson and the next

• Give children practical homework.

• Show them that they are improving

• Be positive and enthusiastic

• Have a structure yet be creative and use many different games

Structure of Lesson

Choose a theme – have an objective – derive games / activities to achieve that objective

Global (start with a game)

Analytic (identify an aspect to teach /

refine / improve….)

Global (end up with a game)

To be successful, you don't have to do extraordinary things. Just do ordinary things extraordinarily well.

•Play small sided games where children are more active 3v3 is better than 6v6. •Avoid the adult game

No laps no lines no lectures …

1

•In (1) player 8 dribbles for the whole 5 minutes. •In (2) player 8 dribbles for about 30 seconds in 5 minutes•In (1) the player not only works more but works more specifically as 8 dribbles as in game situation and finds space. It is skill not just technique!

How to create a progression

•Simple refers to the starting point of each individual•Move from what the individual knows and guide him / her to a higher level. What pupils know may be easy or more difficult but each student has the ability to move on.

Simple Complex

An example of a skill progression

• Dribble • to a marker and make a fake• against a passive opponent• against an active opponent with a wide area

where to score• against an active opponent scoring in a narrow target

Simple

Complex

An example of a game progression •3v1 scoring on end line•3v1 scoring in any of two goals•3v1 scoring in a goal•3v1+1•3v1+2•3v2 scoring on end line …

Lesson needs to1. Be FUN2. Have a focus (general aim which is

breakable in small objectives)3. Involve all4. Allow for differentiation5. Send children to class having had a

wonderful experience6. Have a 2’ cool down (simple game)

which re-establishes arousal levels to normal
