Game Description:
Bringing the game of foosball to life with just hoola hoops,a soccer ball and a couple nets.
Objective:
To score more goals than the other team.
Game Rules:
Split the kids up into two teams. Decide on who is going to be the goalie and the rest require a hoola hoop to stand in on the field. Set-up placement like a foosball table with each line alternating from team to team starting with the goalie's team in front of them. Place the hoola hoops down on the field in 2-3 lines/team (depending on the number of kids) and ask the children to keep the hoola hoop in that spot for the entire game. The children are to stay in that hoola hoop and are only able to kick the ball from there. However, the goalies are the only ones not in a hoola hoop as they are allowed to move freely in their crease. The goalie is the only one that is allowed to use their hands, all the other children can only kick the ball. Standard soccer rules take place, if hands are used, the ball gets switched over to the other team automatically. If the ball goes out of play, the team that didn't kick it out gets to have possession.
Saftey Considerations:
Remind children to keep their heads up and watch the play so they are ready for the ball if it comes to them.
Adaptations (optional):
Instead of having 2 nets, have 4.
Have more than just 1 ball.
Progression (optional):
Have the kids kick with their non- dominant foot for one round.
Have the kids pass the ball x amount of times before allowing them to take a shot on net.
