Plastic Bag Soccer Ball

Uses

• The object is used for learners with a visual impairment and to allow for more kicking repetitions for any learner.
• Wrapping a plastic bag around the ball creates an auditory stimulus for the learner to track where the ball is traveling after being struck.
• The bag also decreases the speed of the ball, allowing it to slow down and stop sooner.
• Slower Speed = less distance traveled = less chasing after the ball = more skill practice and repetition

Construction Materials

• Any ball you would like to kick
• 1 plastic shopping bag

Instructions for Construction

1. Place the ball in the bag and tie the bag around it.
2. Play!

Modifications of Equipment

• Use different sized balls according to the skill of the learner.
  • higher skilled learners should use a smaller sized ball (harder to strike)
  • lower skill learners should use a larger sized ball (easier to strike)
