Overview:

This free resource from ShareMyLesson is a football unit. This unit offers 10 lessons on throwing and catching a football, punting a football, how to pull flags, how to move into space playing keep away and playing small sided games of flag football. The unit was designed for 7th graders but could also be used for 6th or 8th graders.
