Year 5 have been working with Mrs Avdiu and James (QPR coach) to develop their control and confidence with the football to maintain possession as an individual.

They have been practicing how to control the ball using the inside of the foot, using the little toe of both feet to move the ball and learning how to lift eyes up to see the space in front.

We discussed the key points of dribbling and why it is important.

We asked ourselves: ‘what might affect how we dribble if there is interference?’ and ‘what helps you know when to travel with the ball?’

We look forward to developing our football skills each week so that we can play a friendly match at the end of our PE topic.
