Soccer Archery
Objective of the Game
Soccer Archery is a hybrid sport that combines elements of archery and soccer precision. Players aim to shoot a soccer ball, using a foot strike, towards a target board designed similarly to an archery target. The goal is to accumulate the highest score by striking different sections of the target, with the center yielding the most points.
Players & Equipment
- Players: The game can be played in individual or team formats.
- Ball: A standard size 5 soccer ball is used.
- Target: The target follows the design of an archery target, with 3 concentric rings.
- The outermost rings are 1 point
- The next rings are 2 points
- The bullseye is 3 points
- Shooting Zone: A designated striking area is marked on the ground from which all shots must be taken.
- Equipment: Players may wear soccer cleats or indoor soccer shoes depending on the playing surface. No external aids (e.g., barriers, chutes) are allowed.
Game Setup & Rules
- Game Format:
- Players take turns striking the soccer ball towards the target from a fixed shooting distance (e.g., 10-15 yards).
- The game can be played in an individual match format (1v1) or as a team competition.
- Turn Structure:
- Players are given a set number of kicks per round (typically 3 kicks per round, with 5 rounds total per match).
- A referee signals the start of each round, after which the player may take their shot.
- A shot is only valid if taken from inside the designated striking zone.
- Scoring System:
- The score is determined based on the section of the target where the ball makes contact.
- If a ball hits multiple rings, the higher point value is awarded.
- Winning the Game:
- The player (or team) with the highest cumulative score at the end of all rounds is the winner.
- In case of a tie, a sudden-death shoot-off is used, where each player gets one additional shot.
- If still tied, the player with the most bullseye hits wins.
- Time Limit & Conduct:
- Players must take their shot within 10 seconds of their turn starting.
- No intentional delays, distractions, or interference with an opponent’s shot.
- A missed shot (ball missing the target entirely) results in 0 points.
- If the ball deflects off an object before hitting the target, the shot is disqualified.
Penalty Rules
- Encroaching past the striking zone: Deduction of 5 points from the player’s score.
- Delaying the game excessively: Warning on the first violation; a 5-point deduction on subsequent violations.
- Unsportsmanlike conduct (e.g., distracting opponents, tampering with the target): Immediate disqualification.
Variations & Advanced Play
- Team Mode: Teams of 3-5 players alternate turns, with cumulative scores determining the winner.
- Trick Shot Mode: Players are allowed to use curve shots, chip shots, or volley techniques to hit the target.
