So I’m trying to come up with a soccer/golf game that my nephew can play with his friends while still maintaining social distance. Here’s what I’m working on:

Base rules:
– Every time you kick the ball counts as a stroke. You can take as many steps as you like running up to it (though this will be restricted in some holes).
– You may not touch another player or another player’s ball AT ANY TIME. Not with any part of your body, or with your ball. Violation is a two stroke penalty.
– You may not kick your ball while it is still moving, but you MAY chase it down and trap (stop) it.
– The highest score on the previous hole goes first. Players alternate turns.

Hole 1. Start at corner flag on one side of the field. The “hole” is the opposite post on the far side of the field. Standard play.

Hole 2: Start at corner flag and play to the opposite side of the field. The “hole” is the crossbar on the opposite goal. Once inside the penalty area, the player may juggle the ball and as long as the ball remains in the air it counts as a single stroke.

Hole 3: Start inside goal mouth and play to the mouth of the opposite goal. The penalty area on the far side is a hazard – if your ball touches the ground in this area it must be “dropped” on “solid ground” outside this area and played from there. This basically forces you to shoot on net in order to finish the hole.

Further ideas?
