  1. Everyone sits in a circle.

  2. In the fishbowl, the only one who can talk is the one with the ball or the coach.

  3. If you want to talk, raise your hand.

  4. Our goal is to hear from as many people as we can.

  5. If you agree with something someone says you can “snap your fingers” or “sign language applause” or coach choice.

Reflection: Soccer Skills

1. How do we pass the ball? Which part of our feet do we use?

2. What was challenging about passing? What was easy?

Reflection: Relationship Skills

1. Who can name at least 5 players (or the most) on our team today?

(Have captains try first.)

2. What does it mean to have good relationship skills?

-to ask questions, learn names, and make friends

3. Raise your hands if you think you have improved your relationship skills today. How?

(coaches choice-end the practice the same way every day)

Optional: At the beginning of practice we checked in with how our day was going. How do you feel now? Did your day improve at all after practice?
