• Learn– U4: that you can have fun and play games with a soccer ball, run in the right direction

during games, various movements (Physical Literacy)– U6: run with the ball, dribble the ball, stop with the ball, speed up and slow down,

turn with the ball, passing/shooting, get away from the teammate with the ball, go get the ball from the opposition, various movements

– U8: like U6 + the difference between passing and shooting, ball control, triangles and diamonds, the sweeper keeper (pinnie), dribbling moves, defending, more advanced movements
