Year 8 & 9 Sport and Recreation Class;

Football Victoria Soccer- Practical Workshop Session 2

Wednesday 26th October (Term 4) 

GYM

On Wednesday 26th October, Ms. Benincasa organised a ‘final’ soccer workshop with ‘Football Victoria’ to facilitate and coach her Years 8 & 9 Sport and Recreation class in the GYM. The students were very excited to be participating in this wonderful opportunity, gaining knowledge and understanding around the sport ‘Soccer’. 

The two coaches (John and Michael) from ‘Football Victoria’ focused on the skills needed to control the soccer ball, juggling a soccer ball, creating space, soccer drills, attacking and defending and encouraging sportsmanship throughout the lesson. 

Some of the activities included a whole class fitness warm up, partner activities, ‘game sense’ activities (numbers soccer) and a World Cup Tournament, including countries from Spain, Italy and Australia, with Australia winning the world cup trophy and tournament!

The coaches commended all of the students for their efforts, participation and skill level throughout the session. They look forward to coming back in 2023!

Thank you to Years 8 & 9 Sport and Recreation class and Football Victoria for a FUN and ENGAGING session. 

                                  The students ‘loved’ the World Cup competition!
