Closure / Review
- What position did
we start with to
make a great kick?
(Kicking Hop)
- What was our next
step? (Fall Back)
- And when we Fall
Back, what does our
kicking leg do?
(Swings)
** Our next lesson will focus on using the inside of the foot to kick. We want to
make sure they have the proper kicking motion before they begin to actually kick a
ball.
