Overview

Why is football so popular? Can everyone play football? Is it hard to throw or catch a football?

In this unit we will learn how to hold and throw a football. We will learn how to catch and run with a football. You will learn to run different routes and how to defend someone. We will learn the rules of football and different positions. At the end of this unit, you will take a skills and written test to demonstrate what you have learned.

To help your understanding of the different positions in football, you will be given a paper with Football Routes and a semantic map of the different Football Positions. Your written test will be a blank semantic map and you will have to write down the names for the routes. Your skills test will consist of throwing a football properly and running different routes.
