Athlete Readiness
Players who can kick a stationary ball at least 5 yards; pursue a moving ball, perhaps with some verbal prompting; react safely to a ball coming at them in the air; and distinguish, most of the time, a teammate from an opponent, can successfully play at least 5-a-side football.
Players who possess good basic skills and an understanding of the basic rules of the game and are also good athletes, with some speed and endurance, may be appropriate for the more demanding 11-a-side football. Higher ability players may also be appropriate for 11-a-side Unified Sports football.
