A fun game which encourages good kicking technique and develops passing skills for Mini Soccer players.

Game Rules

• Each player remains behind his own line.
• A shot can be played with the inside or outside of the foot through the goal.
• The receiving player controls the ball behind his line and tries to pass the ball through the goal (if by lack of control the ball rebounds into the goal, it does not count).
• As the players improve, increase the length of the area of decrease the size of the goal.
• Limit the touches to three or, as players improve, to two.
• Play the game for five minutes and have the players keep score.
