Mad House
Fun game that involves scoring goals. Implements game-like situations.
Organization: Separate group into 2 teams. Set up 2 goals.
How to Play: This is a team game, with a number of different variations.
- Game starts with both teams on their endline, all with their own ball. On the coach's signal, all players dribble to the opposite end to score a goal.
Variations / Progressions: Coaches vs Kids
- Green team has soccer balls, Purple team does not (sharks / defenders). And vice versa.
- Limit amount of balls each team has, to encourage teamwork / passing
Coaching Points: Keep ball close to feet, under control at all times
- If you lose the ball, get it back as quickly as you can
- When shooting: toe down, body over the ball, use instep (shoe laces)

Bulldozers & Builders
Bulldozers & Builders
Fun passing / kicking game
A great way to explain the game is Soccer Bob the Builder (the tv show)
Organization:
- Set up tall cones randomly on your field. Have your players help with the set up.
- Every "bulldozer" needs a ball. The "builders" do not need a ball.
How to Play:
- The objective for the "bulldozers" is to knock down as many cones as they can by kicking their ball against the cones. The "builders" job is to stand the cones back up.
- Select 2 or 3 Builders for each round. Make sure every player has the opportunity to be both a builder and a bulldozer.
Coaching Points:
- Keep ball under control at all times
- Use instep (shoe laces / top of foot) when striking / kicking ball
