Sesión de Fútbol (Principiante): Marta Skills for Life (Hora de Inicio: 2018-05-24 15:30:00)

Screen 2 (30 mins)

Potential Theme/Length of game: Agility, Work hard to improve, overcome obstacles. 15-30 minutes

Organization/Rules: There are many cones spread around the field. Players jog around and when coach yells "Marta!" players have to run and jump over as many cones as possible. After 30-45 seconds coach shouts "Stop!" and everyone jogs again. The coach can ask how many cones players jumped over. During the next round each player tries to improve their number.

Sample Discussion Questions: How do you feel? How does all of this movement affect your body? How does this movement relate to sport? How did it feel to try to improve? Did you care about how many cones the others were achieving?

Possible Progressions/Variations: Come up with different ways to jump over the cone, i.e. jump sideways, with one foot, or touch as many cones as possiblewith your hands, knees, head and elbow etc. Can you and your players think of other ways to jump over the cone.

Screen 4

Potential Theme/Length of game: Taking advantage of all community's resources. 15-30 minutes

Sample Discussion Questions: How is it to play a game against a team with twice as many players? How would our community benefit from including everyone?

Possible Progressions/Variations: Now if a player scores, they can yell out something that would help include women in their community (i.e education, employment, personal income) and one of their teammates on the outside can join them in the middle.

Or one team can play with all its players on the inside. The other team still only have 4 players on the insideand their teammates on the outside. So, it is a game of full team vs half team (i.e. 8 vs 4). Switch halfway through the game the other team has a full team on the inside.

Adaptation Notes: Are there any groups in your community that are excluded from certain areas of life (sport,politics,business)? Can you use this game to address this issue?
