Skills

 

Shooting - accuracy
  • A standard soccer goal will be divided into 5 spaces that will carry various point totals.
  • Each participant will have 5 – 10 chances to shoot from the penalty kick spot, and accumulate a point total that will determine their score.

 

Throw-in – Distance

  • Using proper throw-in technique, players will accumulate points by throwing the ball as far as they can.
  • Each player will get 3 throw-ins
  • Points will be determined by distance of furthest ball thrown.

 

Running - Speed
  • Players will be matched in pairs and timed:
Depending on the age bracket –
 U5 – U7  20 yds
 U8 – U10 30 yds
 U11 and above 40 yds

 

Juggling

  • Players will be given 3 opportunities to juggle a ball
    • The ball may be struck by any part of the foot, leg, head, or torso (but not arms) for it to count as a legitimate “juggle”
    • Once the ball touches the ground the turn is complete
    • The highest number of times out of the 3 chances will be recorded as the player’s score
