9:00 Beginning class organisation:
- Bring the class together at a stationary meeting point
- Ask students to sit with a partner

1. Students stand next to their

marks they can take a step
backwards
4. If they drop the ball they must
go from standing up, to
kneeling on their knees. If the
ball is dropped again they
must sit down with their legs
crossed. If the ball is dropped
again they must lay on their
backs. They then start again.
The aim of the warm up is to practice
catching the ball in a static
environment with a small amount of
pressure to not drop the ball.

The teacher is supporting

students, encouraging them to try
and mark the ball as many times
as possible. Evaluating the skill
level of each student.

9:10 Bridging organisation

To smoothly move onto the next activity, bring the class in close keeping pairs together. No need to bring in any
balls or cones as they will be used for the next drill. Give a brief run-down of how to mark a ball – chest-height hand
mark. Discuss the key teaching points.

9:20 Bridging organisation

The teacher will blow the whistle, signaling to students to put the football on the ground. The teacher will create
groups of 5 or 6 according to marking abilities and knowledge. Ask students to collect their cones and balls from the
last drill and keep 2 cones and 1 ball per group, get 1 student from each group to put the other equipment to the
side out of the way. Students set up the area with 2 cones 10 metres apart. Give a brief run-down of how to mark a
ball – overhead mark. Discuss the key teaching points.

9:23 Skill: Marking
The second skill to be taught is
marking the ball over the head.
Demonstrate to the class what an over
the head mark looks like.
Activity2  Line Up (7mins)
1. In groups of 5 or 6, students
line up in front of the feeder
who is 10 steps away, with the
ball
2. The first player runs forward to
receive a handball or kick from
the feeder at chest height
3. The chest-height hand mark is
made and is handballed or
kicked back to the feeder. The
player goes to the back of the
line
4. The following players repeat
the drill.
5. Swap the feeder after all
players have marked the ball.
The drill continues until further
instructions.
The aim of the drill is to be able to
practice marking the ball in a calm
environment and see what areas need
improving.
Overhead mark:
- Jump off one foot and swing
the other knee up to gain
maximum height
- Fingers stretched out so
hands are open and wide
- Thumbs together so hands
form a ‘W’ formation
- Arms extended with a slight
elbow bend
- Ball is caught slightly in front
and above the head
- Ball firmly gripped with the
fingers.
All students must be touching the
ball and getting involved
The teacher is observing the
students’ abilities and correcting
any incorrect techniques.

9:30 Bridging organisation:

The teacher will blow the whistle and ask students to stop moving and to place the footballs on the ground. The
teacher will create groups of 4 so that students are with other students who have similar abilities and
understanding. Get 1 member from each group to get 4 cones and 1 ball between the group. Groups will set up the
cones in a square grid that is 5 steps by 8 steps by 8 steps.

9:32 Activity3  Contesting (8mins)
1. In groups of 4, 3 students are
standing in a grid
2. 2 students are contesting for
the mark, the third student will
be picking up the dropped
balls. The fourth player will be
kicking the ball into the grid
3. The two contesting students
are trying to score as many
points as possible by marking
the ball
4. The ball can be marked over
the head or at chest height
5. Swap roles after a contester
scores 3 points
The aim of the drill is to practice using
the two different marking methods in a
stimulating game-like scenario where
players are under pressure.
If the kicks are not accurate, the
feeder may throw the ball.
Chest-height hand mark:
- Fingers are outstretched
pointing up with palms
towards the ball
- Thumbs are positioned
behind the ball
- Arms must be extended so
that they are long
- Elbows bent
- The ball is firmly gripped
with the fingers
- Watch the ball as it leaves
the player’s boot or hands
Overhead mark:
- Jump off one foot and swing
the other knee up to gain
maximum height The teacher is walking between

No one is sitting, everyone is

moving around and getting involved

9:40 Bridging organisation:

The teacher will blow the whistle and ask students to stop moving and to place the footballs on the ground. The
teacher will split the class into 4 groups with 7 or 8 students. 1 student from every group will collect the cones from
the previous drill and put them away while getting 3 cones (2 must be the same colour), 1 football and 7 or 8 bibs.
Students then set up the playing area so that 2 of the same coloured cones are 15 steps apart, with the other
coloured cone in the middle of the two other cones.

9:43 Game  Continuous Football
(13mins)
1. One team is fielding, the other
is kicking. Among the fielders
is a wicky keeper who stands
behind a large cone.
2. The fielders are aiming to
mark the ball to get the kicker
out. Fielders can also collect
the ball and tap the kicker to
get him/her out or pass it to
the keeper who can tap the
cone.
3. Once the ball has been
kicked, the kicker must run to
a cone and back to score 1
point. They may run as many
times as they like.
4. Once the kicker is out, the
next kicker in line is up.
5. The fielders must have a go at
being the keeper.
The aim of the game is to practice
using the two different marking
techniques that were learnt in the
lesson as well as practicing marking
the ball in a more competitive and
intense environment.
9:56 Closing Organisation:
Teacher blows the whistle and asks all students to collect the cones, footballs and bibs and bring them in to the
starting point of the lesson. Put equipment down neatly. Get students to sit down in their groups in front of the
teacher.
9:58 Closure:
Students are sitting in front of the teacher. The teacher goes over the drills that they did and asks the class what the
main focus points were for each drill. The teacher also asks students to state a key teaching point of the chest-
height hand mark and the over-head mark.
Chest-height hand mark:
- Fingers are outstretched
pointing up with palms
towards the ball
- Thumbs are positioned
behind the ball
- Arms must be extended so
that they are long
