soccer as a non-binding exercise

The book is dedicated to the considerations and implementation of soccer as a non-compulsory exercise in the school context. Taking into account the fact that the sport of soccer is great fun for children in normal physical education lessons, the aim of the non-compulsory exercise is to give children the opportunity to engage with the game of soccer and to provide additional sporting activity for the children. Due to the emotions and sporting values that soccer conveys, this type of free subject has great potential for the development of teaching and learning skills as well as social skills. With regard to methodological-didactic and pedagogical aspects, the aim is to show how soccer can be taught in schools in a targeted manner using various approaches from a methodological-didactic perspective. The focus is on training methods and content that are best suited to school soccer. With regard to implementation at school and legal level, important points are explained that need to be taken into account for the implementation of this exercise in schools, both from a regulatory and curricular perspective.
