Parent vs. Player Challenge

As we all go through this difficult time, Soccer Allies is here for you! Although we can’t offer the weekly clinics for the foreseeable future, we can still have some fun in helping players GET EXCITED ABOUT SOCCER from home.

Introducing the PARENT vs. PLAYER CHALLENGE.  This is a challenge for all families to partake in! You don’t have to be a member of the current Soccer Allies clinics. Past, present, and future families are all invited!

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE BELOW: POPCORN CHALLENGE

PARENT vs. PLAYER CHALLENGE RULES:

            Every few days, Soccer Allies will post a challenge on the website and Facebook for one player and one parent to compete in. This pair can only compete once against each other per challenge. However, the player can compete against both parents separately in two different games and/or the parents can compete with multiple children in multiple games. Only one score from each competition can be entered though.

CHALLENGES:

            These will not be your typical soccer drills. These will be simple, creative games that everyone should be able to play at home or at the nearest park (assuming no one else is around). They may be games that you’ve seen before or something you never even thought about! Everyone can IMPROVISE the rules of the challenges at home. Just know that there can only be one winner so the player and parent need to agree to the rules of your own game from the beginning,

 COMMUNITY SCOREBOARD:

            This is a community game for all the players versus all the parents. Each challenge counts as one set. So if 50 pairs participate but the players win 33-17 then the players will be up 1-0 overall until the next challenge. This is the best part about it! Bragging rights forever as we find out who is truly superior in these fun, creative games.

SCOREKEEPING:

            Scores will ONLY COUNT for those that post the score as well as a picture or video to Facebook and tag @SoccerAllies. We will then update the live scoreboard on the website. Fun captions are allowed! EXAMPLE: Parents-2, Players-1.

LENGTH OF TOTAL CHALLENGE:

            We will keep the scoreboard running until the first Soccer Allies Clinic that is held after we all get through this. So it is anyone’s game for the foreseeable future!

SPREAD THE WORD:

            Invite anyone and everyone around the U.S. to participate! We figured we’d try to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy a little competition while building more memories between the parents and players at home! We can make this challenge as big as we want!

BE SAFE:

This challenge is meant to take place at home or at a park near you. DO NOT CONGREGATE with others during the Player vs. Parent Challenge. DO NOT GET WITHIN THE PROXIMITY of others outside of your family while competing in challenges. SOCIAL DISTANCE yourselves and you should be good!

Past Challenges

Feel free to enjoy these fun challenges at home! Great opportunity for the players and parents to build an even better relationship!
