Keepers of the Faith Soccer Class

As mentioned in previous posts, the kids are a part of our local Keepers of the Faith Program. One of the badges they can earn is a “teaching” badge. In order to earn this, they have to “teach” 2-3 classes all by themselves. So Zion decided he wanted to start things off by teaching a soccer class.

The balls, ready for the students to use.

The cones, ready for soccer drills.

Once the students arrived, Zion had them all sit in a circle, and asked them Soccer questions and gave them answers to the ones they didn’t know. The kids did very well, and knew more about soccer then their parents gave them credit for.

Explaining how big the actual goal is, since the goal we were going to be using, was a lot smaller.

After the questions and answer session, Zion had all the kids line up and he showed them one of the soccer drills. This involved “dribbling” (or kicking) the ball in and out of the lined up cones.

Next on the list was stealing the ball from other players. This one was a lot of fun. They also had to dribble the ball across the field and make a goal. After class was over , the kids spent a little time just “playing soccer.”

I think Zion did very well for his first “teaching class”. All of the students were very quick learners. Good job everyone!!! Zion had a blast teaching.
