Description:

This British site teaches elementary language arts and mathematics and science concepts by creating an animated world of soccer team management to which young visitors anywhere in the world may easily relate. For American students, this is a good opportunity to learn more about British culture and the use of English. "Team managers" can view short tutorials on the content before tackling the challenges presented in different games and earning purchasing power to buy new team members. Simple registration is required in order to keep track of the player's scores, but guest access to all games and movies is also available to random visitors. The games require Shockwave plugin, and would probably work best with a faster connection.
