My Project

This project with help me give my students a chance to learn how to play soccer the right way in my Physical Education class. With the proper equipment, I will be able to get more students involved at the same time and keep them engaged and having fun learning this great game. Soccer is a popular sport at our school during recess. I want to use this equipment to really engage our students in playing soccer the correct way and really have more students get involved in another great sport.

Soccer is a sport that I have introduced at our school, and students enjoy it a lot now.

I want to take it to the next level. With this equipment, it will help me get all my students involved at one time by having more equipment so they can practice dribbling and passing at the same time, instead of having a line and students waiting for their turn.
