STORYLINE
Today we are playing Foosball Soccer. In this game, you are working with your team to score a goal while staying in your designated zone. Your goal is to understand when to pass to your teammate or when to shoot on goal.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into two teams using flags.
Before the game begins, decide with your teammates who will play offense and who will play defense.
You must have the same number of teammates on defense and offense.
When I say, “GO!” I will throw in the ball and you must work with your team to score a goal.
All GrowFit soccer rules apply, except that you may only stay in your designated zone and cannot leave the area.
Defenders must stay five feet away from the goal and cannot use their hands.
We will begin a new round when one team has scored.
At the end of each game offense and defense will switch roles.
Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Game 2: Set up the field (Team 2, Team 1, Team 2, Team 1) in the corresponding zones from left to right.
Game 3: Play with two students from Team 1 and two students from Team 2 in each zone.
Game 4: Add another soccer ball.
Exit Ticket: Students complete a successful pass to the teacher while being defended by another student.
