created Zookeeper
Use disc cones to make a rectangular area that is the “zoo”.  Have each player come up with an animal that they are going to pretend to be.  Each animal needs to have a ball.  Have two players without soccer balls start off as zoo keepers.  The zoo keepers run around and try to grab the soccer balls from the animals and throw them/put them in the cage (goal, small PUGG goal, or through a cone goal).  When an animal has their ball taken they become a zoo keeper as well.  Play several rounds and switch who gets to start as the zoo keeper.

created Soccer 1v1 to Endzones
Players find a partner and play a 1v1 soccer game.  To score, players must dribble into an endzone to score a goal.  You could also use endzones for passing activities.  In pairs or small groups teams would have to pass the ball to a teammate in an endzone to score.  Using endzones promotes further skill development as players have to use a highlighted skill (dribbling, passing) to score rather than whacking the ball at a net.

created Soccer Passing Tag
Designate 3 players as being it.  The “it” players hold a practice bib to identify them as being “it”.  When the “it” players tag someone with a pinnie that player is now “it”.  Also have 3 balls.  When a player has a ball they are safe from being tagged.  Can the non “it” players pass the ball to their teammates to save them from being tagged?

created Soccer Blob Tag
All players dribble a ball around in an area except for two players that are the “blob”.  The blob has to remain holding hands and tries to tag players dribbling around.  If a player is tagged they kick their ball out of the area and join the blob.  When the blob gets to be four people it can break into two little blobs of two people.
