Objective:

• To give each player plenty of opportunity to kick the ball in a 3 vs. 3 game.
• To gain a fundamental understanding of the game of soccer.

Organization:

• Field size 20 x 30 yards.
• Six-yard "boxes," marked by cones or lines, within which each designated goalkeeper may handle.
• Center line marked by cones/lines.
• Each player takes a turn in goal for two to three minutes.
• When ball goes out of play, game is restarted by:
• Sideline - throw-in (or pass-in - opponents must stay 5-yards away.)
• Endline - goal kick or corner kick (5-yard rule) depending on which player last touched ball.
• After a goal, re-start with either goal kick or center kick (if center, opponents must retreat to own six-yard line).
• In the gymnasium use the "Change Soccer" soccer principle if you have big numbers. Change the teams or the lines every 2-minutes on the shout, "Change!" so as to keep the activity level high.
• With 6 - 11 have two teams with 2 or 3 substitutes. With 12 have 2 lines per team or 4-teams changing in and out.
• Consider using sidelines rather than walls (at least for some time) to increase the skills of passing.

Teaching:

• As this is the final part of the practice, do not stop the game to make a coaching point. Encourage, but let the game flow.

Target:

• To outscore opposition.
