These football lesson plans are designed to give teachers a clear, progressive route through the key skills and knowledge required by the National Curriculum.
-
Pupils start with simple movement, stopping and controlling the ball, then progress towards accurate passing, dribbling under pressure, tackling safely, defending as a team and applying attacking principles in games.
-
Declarative knowledge is developed through learning about positions, roles, tactics, rules and healthy participation, while procedural knowledge grows through repeated ball work, movement into space and decision making in game contexts.
-
The unit also supports wider development through resilience, fair play, communication and self-evaluation, making it a strong choice for primary school football PE.
