Control on the move - Football

The "Control on the move" activity is designed to enhance pupils' ability to maintain control of a football while passing it accurately as they move. This exercise requires pairs of pupils to work together with a single football between them. The aim is to improve not only their ball control but also their passing skills, particularly while in motion, which is a crucial aspect of football proficiency.

During the activity, one pupil takes on the role of the 'feeder', who is responsible for passing the ball towards a cone. Meanwhile, their partner starts from the centre and must reach the cone in time to control the received ball and then pass it back to the feeder. The feeder is tasked with challenging their partner by making them receive and control the ball at various cones. Each pupil spends one minute in their designated role before switching with their partner, allowing both the opportunity to practice controlling and passing the ball on the move. This exercise not only develops technical skills but also promotes teamwork and communication between pupils.
