CORE SKILLS CHALLENGE RULES
Rules: CORE Soccer SKILLS Challenge – 4 stations
Station #1 – Juggling
Participants have TWO minutes to juggle a soccer ball as many times as they can in a row, without it touching the ground – any parts of your body may be used. If the ball drops the count will start over, (the max number of juggles in a row will be the one recorded) Staff will supply a size # 4 soccer ball for all participants to use, (NO MATTER WHAT SIZE BALL YOU PLAY WITH CURRENTLY) Staff will time the event and count the number of juggles for the participant.
Station #2 – Passing
8 Balls - TWO minute passing accuracy into any of the 5 numbered mini goals. Each goal will be worth a specific point value. Staff will play ball to the participant in the Circle Area; he/she then receives/turns and passes the ball into any goal of their choosing, while staying within the circle. Staff will add up the total points after the 8 shots are taken or when the TWO minute clock has expired for each participant. (Balls MUST be Received and Passed within the Circle Area. If a ball is passed from outside this area those points DO NOT count in the total)
Station #3 – Shooting
8 - Shots in TWO minutes (points for difficulty). There will be a goal set up with 7 different targets that will have 4 different point values. Each participant will have TWO minutes to shoot 8 stationary balls and score as many points as they can. Staff will assist in the set up, timing of the event and adding up participant’s points.
Station #4 - Dribbling
Speed dribbling course. Each participant will be timed to dribble around and thru 8 different gates. Each gate will be assessed a 5point value, (Max Points = 40) Participant must complete the course as fast as possible while collecting as many points with minimal to NO deductions. If you miss/skip or knock down a gate, that gate points will be deducted from your total. Example: Participant finished the course in 1:32, but missed one gate – 5pts. and knocked down two gates – 10 pts. (A total of - 15pt. deduction = FINAL Score 25pts. & TIME: 1:32) Staff will record time and total points accumulated by each participant.
