EQUIPMENT
2-5 Soccer Balls for each group
PREFACE
Today we are playing Soccer Shoot-Out. Your goal is to make as many goals as possible in order to beat the other teams.
INSTRUCTIONS
Each team is sitting together and listening to Camp Manager as they explain the rules and coaches are doing set-up.
The camp manager should have 1 coach as the Goalie. They will be the one defending the goal from soccer balls.
Each round, every team will send out 3 of their players depending on camp size
Each player gets 1 soccer ball each.
One team will go at a time and can choose to take turns kicking or do it at the same time.
For every goal they make, they get 1 point. If they make all of them, they get 5(# of Balls + 2) points.
Continue until everyone on each team gets to participate or until game time runs out. (~20 minutes)
Remember to keep score and be supportive (You can give bonus points for good sportsmanship)
Younger Group Variation (Bumblebees, Dragonflies, and Pink Panthers): Consider having a coach play goalie, but either has limited moving cannot move at all to give the campers the chance to score. If you choose to pick a camper goalie, consider using PUG goals.
TEACHING TIPS
