Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Star Wars

Star Wars (15 mins)

Star Wars

- 2 teams of equal numbers

- One team is Luke Skywalkers team, the other is Darth Vaders team

- One player is nominated as Luke Sywalker, another, from the other team, is nominated as Darth Vader

- All other players are storm troopers

- Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader do not have a ball, every storm trooper does have a ball

- The storm troopers must try and hit the storm troopers from the opposing team with their ball below the knee

- A storm trooper that is hit by an opponent must stand still with the ball held above his head

- For a storm trooper to be freed, they must be tagged by either Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader, depending which team they are on

- The square, or 'ship', in the corner is a safe zone for Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader who are designated one each

- If a storm trooper hits either Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader below the knee, depending which team they are on, while they are outside of their 'ship' then their team wins

Easier - Luke and Darth have an endzone 'ship' instead of a corner

Harder- Luke and Darth have a ball they must take with them too

Technical Points:

- Closer to the target for a more accurate pass

- Use of inside foot to accurately aim for target

- Direction and weight of pass to hit a moving target
