Sample Activities:

 

·        SHORT FIELD SOCCER - Create several teams to engage in side field games. During each game, emphasize proper restarts and the application of soccer rules. Stop the action to discuss strategy. During the game, stop the action and ask students what rule has been applied or needs to be applied.

Variation: Create rule cards, with one rule per card. Distribute the rule cards to observers. When a particular rule of the game is not applied, the observer yells “Rule!” The action stops and the players discuss the appropriate use of the rule. Action restarts from alternating goalies.
