Each team occupies one side facing the goal they want to score in
Game starts with a kickoff backwards to teammates
The ball is dribbled and passed down the court using the wall as a way to pass as well
When playing soccer you must try and score in the black area on the wall from outside the line on court
You can have a goalie who is limited to the three point arch as their goal box
If the ball hits the ground, Soccer must be played
You can not kick the ball up to yourself and catch it to start basketball- you can kick it up to another
teammate who can either catch it or trap it and continue with soccer.
8. If a player catches a kicked ball in air, basketball will commence.
9. Once playing Basketball, you can put the ball down at anytime and resume soccer.
10. A ball on the ground must be played as soccer

To change from Soccer to BasketballThe ball is kicked in the air and is caught, basketball now begins!
1. You are only allowed 2 steps like in basketball- if player takes more than 2 -3 steps, turnover occurs at
sideline.
2. YOU CAN NOT DRIBBLE the ball, only pass using hands to move ball towards basket. OH, chest
passes only.
3. To score you must make a basket in the basketball hoop, always one point.
4. If fouled on the shot, a free throw is given, 1 shot only.
5. If shot is missed, live play resumes. If shot is made, ball goes to goalie and they throw it in. (can not go
past half ct)

GOALIE:
1. If the goalie receives the ball for any reason they may pick the ball up and travel anywhere within the
three point arch with no limit on steps
2. The goalie can not throw or kick the ball in the air past half court. Doing so, results in an automatic
turnover, with the opposing goalie getting possession of the ball.

SCORING GOALS or BASKETS:

1. Each goal or basket is only worth 1 point.
2. After each point, in soccer the ball is returned to the center and possession is given to other team, and a
backwards kickoff restarts the play.
3. After each point in basket, the ball is given to goalie where he or she can toss or kick it into play as
long as it does not go past half court.
