session plan - Warm up – start with a game of stuck in the mud (a game of tig but when tug you stand in a star shape and to be released, one of the other people who has not been tug must run under your arms). Then play traffic lights (we will call out a colour- either red, amber or green, each with an assigned task e.g., red is stand still, amber is walk and green is run or dibble a ball). Finish with dynamic and static stretches that are particularly leg based due to it being a football session. 

Skill rehearsal – start with different variations of passing drills (dribble and short pass, long pass, dribble between cones then pass) in partners. Have the participants on cones to help them with their spatial awareness. Practice penalties (this is so keepers can have chance to efficiently practice). Include a point system e.g., 5 points to each individual every time they score and 5 points to the keeper for every save, to motivate them more and make it more enjoyable.  

Skill practice game – start with a game of rondo (use cones for them to stay inside of and make the area smaller to make it more difficult) to practice passing and interception. To make it more difficult ad progressions e.g., add a limit of two touches, or add a second defender to make it harder for the passers.  

Mini match – end with a 10–15-minute match to put the skills into play, also for some fun for the children. 

Cool down – steady walk around the pitch and static stretching. 

review of session - overall, I found that our session was a success. During the warmup the children were fully engaged and taking part as it was a game like set up and they found it enjoyable whether they usually enjoy football or not. During the skill rehearsal portion, we sometimes lost the attention of the kids as it wasn't a game scenario and after 5-10 minutes they felt ready to move on from this activity so we did; we had to keep switching the activity frequently to keep them engaged as they were easily distracted and bored due to their age and overall attention span. The overall explanation of this was done well in my opinion as all the kids was confident in knowing what was required of them during this. Then in the skill game practice the kids seemed really engaged as there was a point system that made them competitive and eager to win and it was a

skill rehearsal - add one touch pass, dribble through gates then long pass, quicker speed

skill game practice - 1 or 2 touch only for rondo, make the space smaller, add more defenders.

mini match - must make 5 passes before shooting, extra point for a goal following a one touch pass.
