·        FOUR GOAL SOCCER - The object of the game is to find open space to advance the ball toward a goal and score. Divide the class into four teams (three to six players on each) distinguished by different colored pinnies. Each team assigns a goalie to protect the goal. The other players try to gain possession of the ball and score in any of the other team goals. Goalies restart play with a pass or throw. Start with three balls and increase the number of balls as skills become more proficient. In order to score a team goal, the scorer must retrieve the ball, hold it up, shout to the teacher to record the score, and then hand the ball to the goalie to continue the game. Change goalies every three to five minutes.
