This module builds on the skills introduced in Primary Foot Skills module through skill-specific soccer lead up games. Ball control with the feet as well as dribbling, passing, and kicking in combination are the primary skills emphasized. However, a variety of other learning outcomes are also addressed within the module’s activities.
