About Soccer Fun

What this is

Every game here gets the same treatment: a one-line hook so you can pick fast, a plain-language setup, numbered steps you can skim on the walk to the field, coaching points that sound like a coach, easier and harder variations, and an original diagram drawn just for this site. No account, no ads, no cookies — the pages are tiny on purpose, so they load on the worst sideline signal. Pick a game, set out the cones, play.

There is also a free iOS app, which carries the same games and diagrams offline; nothing on this site is behind it, and every page here works the same whether you install it or not.

Credit where it's due

Almost no soccer game is truly new — most of these have been played on playgrounds and pool decks for generations, and great coaches everywhere have published their own versions. Our rule is simple: every write-up and every diagram on Soccer Fun is our own original work, and every game page carries a Sources & credits block linking to the coaches and creators whose versions informed ours.

Links are credits, not endorsements — creators aren't affiliated with Soccer Fun.

If we've credited something wrong — or you'd rather not be credited at all — tell us and we'll fix it quickly.

Licenses

The game text and diagrams are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) — print them, laminate them, share them with every coach in your league, just credit Soccer Fun. The site's code is MIT-licensed.

The iOS app is an adaptation of this site's CC BY 4.0 content: the same games and diagrams, changed to suit a phone — rewritten navigation, native diagrams drawn from the same source files, and a few screens the web pages do not have. It credits Soccer Fun and soccerfunfinder.com on every screen that carries the content, and it ships under the same licence.

Who's behind it

Soccer Fun is built by Craig, a volunteer coach dad, with Claude Code — one game at a time, usually after bedtime. If a game here rescues one of your practices, it's doing its job.
