By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and name the main body parts used for kicking a ball (foot, ankle, knee, leg, and hip) and state that the hands are not used for kicking.
Demonstrate the ready position by standing with legs opened and knees slightly bent before kicking.
Perform a controlled kick using the correct body part (inside of the foot) at a stationary ball.
Explain in their own words why the foot is more effective than the hand for kicking a ball.
