3. Goals should be where the arrows are pointing

4.  Creating a soccer field inside a gymnasium is easy for physical educators.  By setting up two goals on each end, you may use a basketball court to have the center line be in the middle of the field. The center circle is also there from a basketball court.  A teacher can mark the penalty boxes and goalie boxes with tape if he/she wishes, depending on the age of the players.

5.  11 players may be on the field at once; one being a goalie. › Goalie can only use their hands in the penalty box.  Two separate teams wearing different jersey colors. (Pinnies will work for class)  Shin guards/cleats are not necessary during physical education class  Duration of the game can be in two halves or in four quarters depending on the age group

6.  When a ball goes out of bounds by one team, a player on the other team has to throw the ball back in › Both feet have to be on the ground throughout the throw in, while the player throwing the ball puts it over their head and then throws it forward in  The physical educator will have the role as a referee and will call fouls or penalties if needed

7.  A player is in the offside position if he/she does all three of these: › Ahead of the ball › in the opponents half of the field › With fewer than two opponents even with or ahead of him/her  A player who is in the offside position becomes offside when: › He/she participates in the play

8.  Noodle tag  Superheroes  Relay  Running laps  Stretching

9.  A pool noodle is cut in half in order to have two taggers  Each person gets a soccer ball besides the two taggers  The taggers run around trying to hit each persons soccer ball  Whenever a soccer ball gets hit by a noodle, the student has to do 10 jumping jacks before returning into the game

10.  Each person in the class picks a superhero, half pick good ones and the other half pick bad ones.  First, the bad superheroes go after the good ones. Then vise versa. Then it’s a free for all.  The bad superheroes have to hit their soccer balls into the good superheroes soccer ball. If this happens, the good superhero has to do 5 push-ups before retunring.

11.  The teams will be split up depending on the size of the class  Each team will dribble their soccer ball to the other side of the field (if inside) or to a halfway mark (if on actual field)  Once returning to where they started, the player will pass their soccer ball onto the next person on their team until the whole team has completed the relay

12.  A few laps around the field or gymnasium will help get everyone’s blood pumping and ready for physical activity  Stretches are crucial before any activity, especially when it involves a lot of running and muscle movement

13.  A teacher can decide which team gets to start with the ball first  In real soccer games, there is a coin flip to decide which team gets the ball first and the other team gets to pick which side to play first  During physical education, a coin flip will be the only way to avoid conflict

14.  The player who begins with the ball has to kick the ball forward to the opposing teams side of the field  Once the ball is touched by a player the ball is in play and remains in play until the referee stops the game or the ball goes out of bounds

15.  A team will score when they are able to score a goal on the opposing teams goal  After a goal is scored, the ball will return to the kick off position and the opposing team who just got scored on will start with the ball

16.  The offenses job is to pass the ball up the field in order to score a goal  Offense can be the forwards and midfielders who are playing in the game  Some midfielders might be used for defense as well

17.  Defenses job is to take the ball away from the other teams offense who is trying to score a goal  In order to keep a game interesting in physical education, make a line where the defense cannot cross (the center line, for example)

18.  Make sure each player is wearing sneakers  Set specific rules and regulations for physical education class to avoid accidents/injuries  Try to make even teams, skill wise  Have a whistle to blow when you need everyone's attention

19.  Passing  Dribbling  Striking  Receiving  Catching  Throwing

20.  Keeping the children safe  Creating a fun environment!
