Focus – Small sided Game
Name of Game – Chain Soccer
Organization
Set up a small grid, depending on number of players.
Separate players/parents into 2 teams as shown below.
Number players 1,2,3,4,5 etc. Call out a number. That
numbered player/parent combo from each team enters into
the field to challenge for the ball. Players try to score on
opposing side while defending their own side. Parents and
players not called can act as goalies on their side.
Alternatives
Harder (U6) – No parents. Ask children to link arms and
work together to stop goals.
Harder (U6) – Increase the # of players called into the grid
to 2 or 3.

Focus - Ball Literacy
Name of Game: Nuts and Squirrels
Organization
Teams are divided into 4 groups - each group is given a
different colored pinni. All the balls positioned in middle
square. On coaches command 1 player from each group
collects a ball (nut) from the middle. Player dribbles ball
back to their triangle (tree) – next player can go when the
ball is stopped in the triangle. When the coach stops the
game, the team with the most balls (nuts) in their triangle
should be praised the loadest, but praise them all.
Alternatives
Easier – Instead of dribbling players use hands.
Harder – One player from each group is allowed to steal a
ball from the other team’s triangle.
