Five-a-side football

Okay kiddo, imagine you and your friends all love playing soccer, but you don’t have enough people to make two full teams. That’s where five-a-side football comes in! It’s a version of soccer where each team is made up of just five players instead of the usual 11.

You play on a smaller field with smaller goals, which means it’s easier to score and you get to touch the ball more often. There are also special rules to keep the game fast and fun. For example, you usually can’t kick the ball over your head to pass it, and there are special rules for kick-offs and corners.

Everyone gets to play, and because the teams are smaller, you don’t need as much space or as many players. It’s a great way to stay active and have fun with your friends, just like regular soccer!
