Suitable for Grades 4 - 12

Print

Supervision

  • On-site supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all  safety concerns have been emphasized.

 

Instructional Considerations

  • Teachers should use footballs appropriate to the size and ability of the students (e.g., smaller football or Nerf™ ball for younger students).
  • Blocking, pushing or tackling should not be allowed.
  • Boundary lines must be clearly marked.

 

Equipment/Facilities

  • Goal posts should be padded when they are in the field of play.
  • The field of play for youth games or practices should be cross field on a standard rectangular field thus taking any soccer or football goalposts out of play.
  • If the game is desired to be played on the full field then the goal posts must be padded.
