Step 1

Players line up on opposite sides of the field. Each player is given a number (or fruit or vegetable depending on what is fun). It is important to try to match kids up by ability so that they are even. Each sideline is assigned a goal that they are trying to score on.

Step 2

When a player is called, they run to the ball and try to get to it first.

Step 3

The players then try to score on their designated goal. Players should dribble or pass (if more than one person is called) to try to score.

Step 4

The player(s) without the ball play defense.

Step 5

Play continues until one side scores a goal, the ball goes out of bounds, or it goes on too long.
