Sport Pedagogy Lesson Plan Template (Elementary and Middle School)
Background Information
Teacher: Sheldon Simas

Date: November 4, 2015

School: Cleveland Elementary

Grade Level: 3rd Grade

Lesson Focus: The lesson focus for this week is

# Of students: 20 Students
soccer; more of the introductory week. The last
lesson we weren't able to begin the soccer lesson due
to weather conditions but for this lesson we will begin
with the dribbling a soccer skill.
Equipment and Facilities: For this lesson its crucial
to utilize a large amount of space. The grass space is
good enough and/or black top space. The equipment
that will be needed for this lesson will be a set of
cones and multiple soccer balls.
24 cones
12-15 soccer balls
reserve 4 cones for the instant activity

Safety Considerations: The safety considerations falls

under the consideration for space. Students will be
spaced out quite tremendously so that it will give
them enough space to perform the cues of the skill.
This will prevent from student colliding within each
others space and possibly get seriously injured.

Lesson Specifics
Behavioral Contingencies: When students are talking
I will simply raise my hand to receive the students
attentions. The students will only receive one
warning, if and only if any student shows any
disrespect to the teachers and fellow classmates,
without hesitation they will be asked to sit out.
Determining the consequence for such behavior will
depend on how crucial the situation is.

Previously Learned Skills: We haven't really

performed any skills that mainly emphasizes the use
of the lower extremities, so there wont necessarily be
any previous learned skills that could transition into
soccer. However, we will begin by providing the
students with COTS for properly dribbling a soccer
which will hopefully transition into the next lesson.

Teaching Strategy: The main strategies used are

Whole-Part-Whole and Active Learning.
(III)

Student
Objectives:

Academic Language: Students will be introduced to

the understanding of the phrase, cues of the skill.
From there the students will be able to perform
different sets of skills just based of the COTS. The
main goal is for the students to identify all the
different components that go into a skill. (I, II, IV)

Psychomotor (P): The students will apply the cues of the skill for dribbling into the main
lesson activity which involves dribbling in and out of the cones; basically focussing on not
only the skill itself but also the control of it.
Cognitive (C): Before we begin the activity the students will go through a quick check for
understanding. After the cues of the skill have been provided and demonstrated to the
students, they will be asked to repeat what the cues of the skill were.
H-R Fitness (H): Before we begin the lesson the students will participate in a game called
sharks and minos.

CALIFORNIA PHYSICAL EDUCATION MODEL CONTENT STANDARDS:

I. Demonstrate the motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.
II.Demonstrate knowledge of movement concepts, principles and strategies that apply to the learning and
performance of physical activities.
III.Assess and maintain a level of physical fitness to improve health and performance.
IV.Demonstrate and utilize knowledge of psychological and sociological concepts, principles and strategies
that apply to the learning and performance of physical activity.

NASPE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CONTENT STANDARDS a physically literate person:

1. Demonstrates competency in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical
activities.
2. Applies knowledge of concepts, principles, strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.
3. Demonstrates the knowledge skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and
fitness.
4. Exhibits responsible personal and social behavior that respects self and others.

Describe the pre-class arrangement

Teacher: The teacher will be waiting for the students where their activities will take place.
Students: The students will gather around the teacher where he/she is standing. They are given the
option to either sit or stand, as long as their attention is on the teacher.
Equipment: The cones marking the boundary for sharks and minos will be placed along with the four
sets of six cones for the actually lesson activity.

Instant Activity: The instant activity for
minutes this lesson will start off with Sharks and
Minos. Students will be given the
objective to run to the other side of the
line without getting tagged by a Shark.
There will be two students who will be
selected at the beginning of the game to
play as the sharks. They will continue the
game until all Minos are tagged. As a
minos is tagged, they become a shark.

Keep the students occupied
with physical activity prior to
the lesson content. Allow the
students to move around and
have fun doing it by utilizing
certain games to their liking.

will meet back where the teacher is for

Set Induction:
minutes Before the actual activity the students will
learn how to successfully dribble a soccer
ball. Using the basic teacherdemonstration the teacher will list off the
step-by-step COTS fro dribbling to the
students. As the teacher explains the
COTS he/she will then do a short CTFU
with the students. Randomly calling on a
students, the students that happens to be
called will be asked to say one of cues.
Then the teacher will conclude the
instruction by providing the students with
the lesson activity and what the objectives
are.
Purpose:
Explain to the students the reasoning as to
why we learn step by step is all because
they will be assessed towards the end of
the content.

NASPE 1,2, &3

Start/Stop Signals:
The main technique
used will be the
raising of the hand.
The teacher will
simply raise their
hand saying raise
your hand if you can
hear me. Basically
repeat that until all
student cooperate. If
all else fails then the
teacher will have to
raise their voice to
promote authority
over the students.
Grouping Strategies:
The teacher will hand
pick who the partners
will be. If students
complain they will be
sent out. The teacher
will provide the
warning before
assigning partners
also.

each set are six cones placed in a single file

format. There are approximately 3-5 students
in each line. Basically the whole point for
this activity is to practice dribbling with some
kind of control. The students will practice
this by applying the cues of the skill, making
sure that they maintain control of the soccer
ball and keep the ball close to themselves.
The students will dribble in and out of the
cones multiple times practicing their
maneuvering skills.

Teaching Cues for Task 1:

COTS (Dribbling a soccer ball)
Ready position
inside and outside of foot
Eyes looking forward
Ball close to feet
Common Errors Task 1:
1. Proper body position for
performing the skill.
2. Looking down at the ball
while dribbling
3. Kicking the ball too far ahead

Demonstration Plan:
The teacher will most likely demonstrate
this skill multiple times in this lesson.
First the teacher will demonstrate the skill
while explaining the COTS. The as the
activity is in play the teacher will find
opportunities to pause the activity and
demonstrate the skill once again.
Questions to Check Understanding

Questions to Check Understanding
If there are any students who are not
focussed while the teacher is providing
them with instruction, then the teacher
will simply call on that specific student to
ask them to simply repeat what the
instructions were. If he or she fail to
answer the question it only shows that
they were paying attention.
