Helping out youth football (soccer)

Late to this challenge - but now I've seen it it's a great opportunity to share a little side project I have been playing with. ⚽

My son is in an Under 10's football team that is struggling, as they are largely made up of players who have never been in a team. I know that simple knowledge content isn't going to reach them, and even listening to a coach often goes over their heads, but what about a little bit of gamified learning?!

So I set about developing something for the Rise Code block. 

I've tried to stick to some fundamental principles of that level of football... Position, shape, and a basic move.

In the game, you'll see a multi level progression, allowing kids to grow and evolve their knowledge.

With more development I'd have developed the full rich story around the progression, and an ability to select a team role and explore some specifics of that role, so kids could choose their journey, but I just wanted to start with whether the concept was possible with some basic vibe coding. Thanks for my good friend Google Gemini for helping with the framework for me to build and develop from.

I didn't get half as far as I wanted before my attention had to go elsewhere, but it has potential. Would love to hear people's thoughts.

Give it a go!

    I love that you had the idea to turn this into a gamified learning experience for them. I feel like it’s something we can all apply when learners aren’t connecting with traditional approaches.
