          2. Instructor will assign students to create their own pre-game warm-up and stretching format. Instructor will facilitate a discussion in which the strengths and weaknesses of each proposal are analyzed. (Objective 3)

          Distance Learning

          1. The instructor will lecture on the mechanics of a proper workout to include warm-up/down. The students will compose and illustrate the mechanics of a proper workout. (Objective 3)

          Typical Out of Class Assignments

          Reading Assignments

          1. Read instructor handout on offensive strategies and be prepared to present in class. 2. Perform an internet search on the proper warm up and cool down and be prepared to discuss in class.

          Writing, Problem Solving or Performance

          1. Read an article from a soccer magazine and write a 3-5 page critique. 2. Based on a given series of possible offensive attacks, identify the appropriate defenses to use. 3. Through video analysis distinguish the correct positional starting positions based on a defensive goal kick.
