COOPETITIVE FOOTBALL

Les beaux jours arrivent et cela tombe bien car dans cette séquence, nous allons pouvoir mettre en pratique l'enseignement de l'anglais basé sur la coordination du langage et du mouvement physique, à l'extérieur. C'est le concept de "Total Physical Response".

Voici la tâche finale:

 Build your own School Football Club and take part in a Coopetitive Football tournament. Video and photos will be released on the blog to spread this new concept. Enjoy the game!

               CO-OPETITIVE  FOOTBALL RULES (playing football with cards) 

Co-opetition is a new term, it is competition and cooperation with the opposing team. There is a winner but there is more equity in the game!

-          The teams are all mixed (boys and girls)

-          1 classic football goal with a goalkeeper + 2 small football goals with no goalkeepers per team.

-         The goalkeeper must remain in his area.

-         Penalty: direct free kick from the centre circle

-        When a goal is scored, the scorer becomes goal keeper and the goal keeper of the opposing team also changes.

-         Unlimited substitutions

-         Players must not tackle.

-     Instead of a throw-in, a kick in is used      .                                                                                                      

-        Free kick if you don’t speak English

-         Don’t swear at or argue with the referee or the other players.                                         

-         Yellow card :3 minute off/ Red card : Sending off

-         The rest of the technical rules are the same as for the 11-a-side game!

Now, if a team scores 2 goals in a row (consecutively, no matter if it is scored in the big or small goals), it may pull a specific card out of 10 cards to equalize. There are 5 cards called Handicap Cards and 5 cards called Advantage Cards.  

Handicap  Cards:

-  1/You reduce your goal. The big and the small goals posts are half reduced

-          2/ You keep all corners and throw ins

-          3/ You name a dangerous defender in the opposing team who cannot defend anymore.

-          4/ You name a dangerous striker in the opposing team who can no longer score.

-          5/ You have (got) the right to block the ball and no one can take the ball from you as long as you don’t move! 

Advantage  Cards:

-          6/ We cannot defend in our goalkeeper’s zone.

-          7/ We can only score in small goals.

-          8/ We enlarge our goal posts by half.

-          9/ We have (got) 2 players who remain in the opposing camp.

-          10/ Our goalkeeper can’t use his hands.   

The card specific rules are added to each other during the game, they remain active during the entire game. Enjoy the game.
