Top Games: Soccer Twin Relay

Game 1: Soccer Twin Relay

1. Each child has 2 balls each, the soccer twins, and on command has to kick them toward the end target which should be fairly narrow.
2. The end target can be a pop-up soccer goal or just 2 cones.
3. The end target should be away far enough, that children need to guide the ball for a while before they can kick it through the end target.

Tips

1. The greater the distance to the end target, the better, the more activity, and the more correction is needed to keep the balls on track.
2. Try it with a variety of different balls, initially 2 of the same kind and ultimately 2 different ones like a small and large ball or a light and heavy ball to force children to adapt.
    

Goals

Main focus: Foot-eye coordination
In addition: Rhythm, moving and kicking slow enough to be able to control the balls. Differentiation when using different balls.
Physicality, endurance in particular, and rhythm are important to be able to control the balls.

Story

1. A couple of twins always want to do different things but we need to keep them close together on our way home not to lose any of them.
    

Progressions

1. The smaller the balls,
2. the greater the difference between the balls,
3. or the smaller the goals or end targets are to kick the balls through, the more you increase the skill challenge.
4. The greater the distance to the end target, the more you increase the physical challenge.
