Crab Soccer

 Crab soccer

Materials:

Large beach balls

2 soccer goals

Description:

      Divide the kids up into two teams. Get a larger ball for the kids to use and make the goals a little larger. This whole soccer game is played doing the crab walk. So the kids must crab walk everywhere they go. They may not touch the ball with their hands only their feet. Play till about 10 goals or 20 min. Give breaks because crab walking is not an easy task. Large Beach balls would be ideal for this game. You can also put multiple balls in the game at once. Allow goalies if it becomes too early. But only one goalie. Don’t allow defenders to cross a certain line so they don’t sit in the goal.

Crab Line Soccer:

Two teams sit on lines a short distance apart. Players on both teams are assigned a number, starting at number one on each team.

Place the soccer ball sits in the center. Official calls a number.

The player from each team who is assigned that number crab walks to the center and attempts to get the ball over the opponents’ goal line.

When a point is scored, the ball is returned to the center and another number is called. Team members may help but not score.
