Soccer
• There are 11 players
• The object of the game is to score the most goals.
• There are many different line-ups arranging the defense
and offense, plus a keeper. For example, you could play a
three, four, three, or a two, five, three, plus the keeper.
• Each tactic has its own advantages.
• Only the keeper is allowed to use their hands within the 18
yard line.
• If the ball goes out of bounds on the side lines, it’s a throw
in, but if it goes out on the backline, depending on which
team kicked it, it is either a goal kick on the 6 yard line, or a
corner kick.
Volleyball
• There are 6 players on the court.
• The object of each game is for a team to score 25
points. There are at least three games to play.
• The team uses their hands to pass the ball.
• When the other team scores a point, the other team
rotates on the court.
• You could only pass the ball three times in order to
send it over the net.
• The setter is the most important player on the court
because they pass the ball to an outside or inside
player so they could spike it over the net.

either one, two or three foul shots depending on
the circumstances.
