ASSESSMENT RUBRIC

Objective: Soccer scrimmages

Soccer Unit | Level 35

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to play a soccer scrimmage game.

IMPORTANCE
Scrimmaging a game is important because it teaches the rules and procedures of a full game.

VOCABULARY
Scrimmage: a simulated game.

RULES

• The GrowFit rules are a simple, modified version of regulation soccer. If a rule is not mentioned below we will not be following it.
• If the ball goes out-of-bounds, the team who did not kick the ball out will get a throw-in (Both feet must be on the ground, two hands must be on the ball, and the ball must be thrown overhead.)
• If the ball touches a student’s hand intentionally, the other team gets a free kick where he/she touched the ball. Defense must be 10 feet away from the kick.
• Students cannot kick, trip, slide, charge, push, or hold another student. If this does occur the teacher makes a judgment call (i.e. the student has to sit out for two-minutes for unsafe behavior).
• Students cannot head balls due to concussions.
• If the ball crosses the end line it is either a corner kick or a goal kick.
  • If the team attacking the goal kicks it out, it is a goal kick.
  • If the team defending the goal kicks it out, the attacking team gets a corner kick.
• After a team has scored, the opposing team gets to kick off the ball in the middle of the field.

• The all-stars will compete against the other teams until a challenging team wins.
• Before the game begins, both teams will begin in their end of the field with the ball in the middle.
• When I say, “GO!” both teams can attack the ball to gain possession.  
• The first team to score a goal wins the match and will stay on the field to challenge the next team in line.
