Start junior football clubs. This will have a follow on effect of kids playing in their free time as well. For football skills all you need is a ball, one goal and 2 or more friends.
The game we used to play:
-1 on goal. The first one on goal is decided by a shooting from 9 meters, whoever scores the ugliest goal or misses, is first up. he has 6 points, all others have 5. Ugliest goal is ball on the ground hit in the center of goal. Best goal is in the corner, or in the corner and off the side posts or top bar.
Goal is approx. 3-4 meters wide and slightly over 2 m high. Indoor football goal dimensions. Doesn't even need to be a proper goal, you can improvise.
-2 or more passing ball
-Game starts when the first ball is passed and touched by the second player. Up until then he can let it go in "out" without consequences
-After the first ball is passed, only one touch is allowed...two touches or more allowed if ball doesn't hit ground in between touches ie if you juggle the ball. If it does drop, the person who dropped it or touched it twice in any other manner then described above, goes on goal
-If the player on goal touches it and it doesn't go in the goal, the one that last touched the ball goes on goal
-If the player on goal touches it after a shot or a pass and the ball goes into any of the the posts or upper bar, he remains on goal
-If the player on goal touches it after a shot or a pass and the ball goes into "out", the shooter /passer goes on goal.
-Hand play is going to goal automatically
-Normal goal counts for 1, goal with heel/head/off the posts/in between the legs counts for 2 and they are counted together. ie if you get a goal with a head and ball touches posts you are deducted 4 points. if by some miracle, it goes in between the keeper's legs, you are insta gibbed. Deducted 6 points, and if you weren't the first on goal, you get the "punishment"!
-When player reaches 0, a penalty is shot, from 9 meters. If he defends it, the penalty shooter goes on goal
-If he gets a goal, his punishment is, turning over, bending, kneeling a bit in such a way that his as
s is most exposed. Then all players put the ball on about 6 meters and try to hit it. Everything is allowed, from pussy shots to bombs that make your *** burn for several minutes afterwards. The trick is ofcourse balancing power with accuracy.
-Sometimes, for faster games, the process of getting the first one on goal in line 1 is replaced simply by "who scored the best as
s shot" ie if you hit dead center you can be sure you won't be the first on goal in the next game.
-The punishment thing was done for motivation, when there was nothing that awaited the loser, people wouldn't give it their all. When we started to play with it, the quality and pace of the game became way better. Being shot in the *** by let's say 6 ppl, has a certain degrading effect for 14+ year old kids' selfesteem, mostly if there's some girls watching, which happened alot....
Especially, if, when it's all over, you straighten up, turn around and everyone sees you are red in the face as a tomato from all the kneeling and getting hit.
oh, i remembered this too, if for some reason you ran away from getting punished, you weren't allowed to play for a certain time and you were deemed to be a pussy until you accepted what was waiting on you. Regular runners were outcast from our circle. And that had a consequence of the kid having to go on another playground in search of friends.
