Calvary Christian School scored another sports day soccer PE class November 3rd. If you missed it and want to join this post is for you. I will be posting what we worked on each week and post the "homework" that was suggested. Week 4 started with the basics. We did a warm up jog, stretched and did some agility and strengthening drills. Then we did some soccer warm-ups, played "Get to the Base" and worked on moving controlling and passing. After that we played "King of the Court" then two soccer games for the rest of the time. We talked about not complaining and working hard to win. My team lost but we learned a lot about ourselves and gave it our best effort. If you want to catch up on what all we learned here is a list of vocabulary and skills we focused on:

Skills
Using the inside of your foot to dribble and pass the ball. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5trhfYjkI4 (1)
Dribbling the ball while running and passing it to another player. Just run in a straight line parallel with another person and kick back and fourth about every 2 meters. We used cones but that is optional. (1)
Two ways to control the ball when kicked to you. 1) Trap the ball by using the underside/sole of your foot. 2) Cushion the ball softly with the inside of your foot. We just kicked to each other and tried both ways of stopping the ball. https://youtu.be/m3Oj6HXt8jQ (1)

Parents, if you are seeking to use this class as PE credit, evaluate your students for this week's class. I will need you to evaluate their effort, ability and overall performance. Effort marks are as follows: I-Improving, S- Satisfactory, and H-High. Ability marks are as follows: X-Working Towards, O-Developing and A-Achieving. The overall mark will be as follows: 1-Limited, 2-Developing, 3-Satisfactory, 4-Competent and 5 - Talented. Let me know their scores and I will add them to the week one grading sheet. Our next class is Saturday, November 17th. We practiced this time at Sherwood Park in Paso Robles and that was a very nice location. (Map to Sherwood Park https://goo.gl/maps/UxMxg9UicgQ2 ) We parked along Via Ramona Road and met toward the back entrance on that road.
