Materials/ Space Needed Home Base (Baseline, Sideline or Circle with paint or cones to mark boundary) Large circle Soccer Balls (1 per group of 4-6 students) Small soccer goals or Cones (1 goal per 4-6 students) Poly Spots (10+ per teams: 2 or 4 teams) Vocabulary Accuracy: Being free of mistakes or errors.
