Football - Foot Trapping

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Describe and demonstrate ball trapping using the inside and sole of the foot with correct body positioning and cushioning
- Apply the foot trap in a passing drill with a partner sending the ball at different speeds
- Show responsibility and safety awareness during football practice

- Watch teacher demonstrate foot trapping using the inside and sole of the foot; study technique diagrams in the learner's book
- In pairs, practise foot trapping: position in line with the ball, lift trapping foot with toes up, cushion impact by pulling foot back
- Give each other feedback on positioning, cushioning technique and ball control after each trapping repetition

Why is correct cushioning technique important when trapping a ball with the foot in Football?

Football - Thigh and Chest Trapping
Football - Dribbling Skills

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Demonstrate ball trapping using the thigh and chest with correct positioning and cushioning
- Apply thigh and chest trapping techniques in partner drills with lofted passes
- Value the importance of mastering multiple trapping techniques for versatile Football play

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch teacher demonstrate thigh trap (raise thigh at upward angle, cushion by lowering as ball contacts) and chest trap (lift chest, lean back as ball contacts)
- In pairs, practise thigh trapping with lofted passes focusing on positioning, angle and cushioning
- Alternate between thigh and chest trapping; observe and give structured feedback on body position and control

How do thigh and chest trapping techniques differ from foot trapping and when should each be used?

Swimming - Water Safety and Entry
Swimming - Crouch Dive
Swimming - Pencil Dive

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Identify and describe the safety rules that must be observed before entering a swimming pool
- Identify different water entry techniques and describe the body positions involved in each
- Show awareness of pool safety rules and respect for supervision during all swimming activities

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Discuss pool safety rules: check water depth, ensure area is clear, only enter under supervision, no running on pool deck
- Study pictures of different water entry techniques and describe the body positions and movements shown for each
- Watch teacher demonstrate water entry techniques and note safety measures observed for each; share observations in class

Why are water safety rules essential before any swimming pool activity?

By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
- Describe and demonstrate flutter kicks in the supine position with correct body alignment and ankle relaxation
- Apply flutter kick technique across a designated distance in the pool
- Show perseverance and water confidence while practising backstroke flutter kicks

In groups, learners are guided to:
- Watch teacher demonstrate correct backstroke body position: lie on back, body straight and relaxed, face above water
- Practise flutter kicks: legs straight, kick alternately up and down with relaxed ankles and small quick movements across the pool
- In pairs, observe each other's kick frequency, leg straightness and body position; give structured feedback and make corrections

How do effective flutter kicks contribute to a smooth and efficient backstroke?
