  Welcome to Perk Pups Soccer  
 

Special thanks to Wash Perk for sponsoring us and making Perk Pups a reality! Perk Pups Soccer is super informal and we are making it up as we go. We have about 12 kids from the Wash Park area participating now. We typically meet on Saturdays at 10am. Please see the Schedule/Location below for updates. This is really a good way to get together, socialize the kids (and parents), play a little soccer, and generally a fun activity. Most of the kids are in the 1.5 to 2.5 years, but there are a couple 3 plus to help teach the little ones. Cost is $10 and includes a Perk Pups jersey. The remaining money will go toward a fun bbq/party at the end of the season. If you would like information on participation, please contact: Joe at joelindwall@hotmail.com or 415-246-2871.

* Please note: Sign up for the 2009 season is now closed.

* A new Head Coach and Cookies and Milk Coach for the next week will be determined at the end of each week's practice. Head Coach selects drills (makes up new drills if they like) and sets up for the day. Cookies and Milk Coach brings treats for the pups and owners. We will bring a soccer net, green tunnel, and cones each week.


 
  Drills / Activities  
 

 Name

Description

 Shark and Minows

Form groups of 5 to 6 balloons on the ground. Line pup up ~ 5 feet from the balloons and have them kick the ball (shark) at the balloons (minows) to make them scatter. May need 3 or 4 groups of balloons to keep the sharks happy.

 Snake in the Grass

Set 4 or so cones up in a line with a ball and goal at one end and the pup at the other. Have the pup run serpentine through the cones to the ball, stop and kick it toward the goal.

 The Tornado

Pair up with your pup and pass the ball back and forth while slowly jogging forward. Key is to pass the ball a little in front of your pup, have them kick it, and keep moving. It is difficult to control the trajectory of the passing, usually ending up in a circular toronado-like pattern.

 Cookies and Milk

If we are lucky, some pups owner will bring some type of delicious treats to keep everyone well fueled!

 Elephant and Sea Lion

Pair pups up in groups of two standing ~ 5 feet from each other and have them pass the ball back and forth (between the elephant and sea lion).

 Worm in the Hole

Line pup up with the ball ~ 3 feet in front of the green tunnel. Let the pup kick the ball (worm) into the tunnel (hole). If they are lucky, they will see the worm come out the other side. Variation: Have another pup at the other end of the hole and kick the worm back and forth.

 The Garanimal

Pair pup up with a non-parental unit and kick the ball back and forth at a reasonable distance. Mix and match pup/parental unit combinations every 5 kicks or so.

* Note: These are only suggestions, new ideas, variations, and supplements are always welcome.
