The Basics of Soccer

Have you just joined a team and want to know the fundamentals of soccer? In this discussion-based class, students will learn the basics and most important areas of soccer. 

Students will learn all aspects of the soccer field or 'pitch' as I say :) 

We'll also learn who the referee is and what their job is. As well as formations, positions and how substitutions work.

Students will also get the chance to act as a coach and discuss which changes they would make to their team's formation and any substitutions they'd make to improve the given game situation. Who knows, we might even discover the next Ted Lasso!

As well as this, students will also learn how to respect others' opinions, how to politely express themselves and build confidence along the way in a fun, yet structured social learning environment.

No prior knowledge of soccer is needed.
