### Lesson Structure:
**1. Introduction and Warm-Up (15 minutes)**
- **Brief Introduction (5 minutes):** Instructor introduces the topic, covering the importance of soccer, basic rules, and objectives of the class.
- **Warm-Up Exercises (10 minutes):**
- Jogging around the field (2-3 minutes)
- Dynamic stretches (e.g., leg swings, arm circles, etc.)
- Specific soccer warm-up drills (e.g., toe touches, butt kicks)
**2. Skill Development (30 minutes)**
- **Passing and Dribbling Drills (15 minutes):**
- **Partner Passing:** Students pair up and pass the ball to each other, emphasizing proper technique (inside of the foot, accuracy, and control).
- **Dribbling Obstacle Course:** Set up cones for an obstacle course. Students dribble through the course, focusing on close ball control.
- **Shooting Practice (15 minutes):**

**3. Mini-Game/Scrimmage (30 minutes)**
- Divide the class into small teams (depending on the total number of students, aim for teams of 5-7 players each).
- Conduct a mini-game with modified rules to encourage participation and touches on the ball.
- Focus on simple rules: no goalkeepers to simplify gameplay, encourage passing, and position play.
- Ensure all students are actively involved and rotate positions.
- Use this time to observe and provide feedback on teamwork, communication, and adherence to basic rules.
**4. Cool Down and Review (15 minutes)**
- **Cool-Down Exercises (5 minutes):**
