Street Soccer

Setup:  Two fields (~30X40) with two small goals on each end.  Sixteen (16) players.  Assign each player a number between 1 and 16.  Players must remember these numbers – as they will be used throughout the session.  (Coach may want to write down names!)   Field 1 is always Team A vs. Team B.  Field 2 is Team C vs. Team D.    Jerseys are left on the field in goal area. Each game is 5-6 minutes long and each player comes off, lines up behind “old” team and reports his/her own personal score.  After scores are collected, “new” teams are assigned as outlined below.  The line up below provides eight (8) games with a unique lineup – and ensures that each player plays with every other player at least once – and no more than twice.

Scoring:

Team Points:  Win = 6    Tie = 3   Loss = 0.  
(Alternative: to emphasize individual goals:  Win = 3, Tie = 1, Loss = 0)

Individual Points:  Add 1 point for each goal scored by an individual player.  Example:

·         Joe’s team wins 2-0.  Joe scored both goals.  Joe gets 8 points – while his teammates each get 6 points.

·         Joe’s team loses 2-3 but Joe scores two goals.  Joe gets 2 points while his teammates get 0.
