Here’s what you’ll need to set up for a Crab Soccer Game:
- 2 nets or something to signify your goal area like spray painted lines
- 1 soccer ball
Setting Up for Crab Soccer:
- 2 goals need to be established at either end of the field – use anything to mark the goal or use nets
- Find a center line and place goals about 5 ft. on either side of the center
- Define the sidelines
- Divide into 2 equal teams
Playing Crab Soccer:
- Play will begin in the center of the field with each team on their side of the line
- *you can spread kids out like soccer players would be, or let them all lineup opposite of each other at the center line
- Players should get in the “crab position” – Sit down with knees and hips up, using their hands and feet to walk with
- They should try to stay in that position for the entire game – At least at the moment, they are actively touching, pursuing or defending. Then, they must be in the “crab” position
- The starting players may use their feet – only, to kick and pass the ball to teammates and toward their goal
- The other team should try to defend their goal and steal the ball to gain possession
Out of Bounds:
- If the ball goes out of bounds, it is on the team that last touched the ball
- The other team will gain possession at the point the ball left the field
Winning Crab Soccer:
- You can play Crab Soccer against the clock, with the team at the end of 2 (5 minutes) halves and the most scores winning
- Or, the first team to a certain amount of points wins
