environment, based on the situation. If a student is
injured, the teacher will stop the activity and have
the students seated away from the injured student
while the teacher notifies the proper authorities
(YMCA supervisor) of the childs injuries. Each

What part of the foot do we hit the ball

with?
Adaptations
For students who need the activity made
easier we can take the running portion
out of the equation and shoot from a
stationary position. For the students that
need the activity to be more challenging I
could make the run to the net longer than
5 yards.

Contact ball with

shoelaces (i.e., instep of
foot)

Common Errors Task 2:
1. Students kick the ball with
the toe of the foot instead of
the laces.
2. Students do not have the non
kicking foot next to the ball.
