Split your students into two even teams. 4 Goal Soccer is exactly what it sounds like. It is a typical soccer game played with 4 goals instead of 2. There also are 3 soccer balls on the field (or in the gym) at one time so there is more action for the students than a typical soccer game. This keeps students involved more in the game. When a goal is scored all 3 soccer balls start in the middle of the gym. The team that got scored on gets to start with all 3 soccer balls. If there is a handball play stops and the team gets to start with all 3 soccer balls at midfield.
EQUIPMENT: 4 soccer goals, or tape to put on the walls to create goals, 3 soft foam soccer balls, jerseys to identify the two teams.
MODIFICATIONS: play with goalies, play without goalies, play with more soccer balls for bigger classes, can be played in a gym or outside. If a lot of goals are being scored and play is being stopped many times, change the rules and after a goal the other team's goalie gets to start with the ball. This will keep the game moving better.
AGES: 3rd grade and up
