Main Activity~60 min

Place a goalkeeper in a full-size goal. Split remaining players into two even teams and align them on each goal post. Each player starts with one hand on the goal post. Place a cone approximately 20 yards from goal in front of each line. Coach has a supply of balls. On the coach's command, the first player from each team sprints around the cone in front of their line. As players approach, coach plays a 50/50 ball in the middle between the cones. The two players fight for possession and attack the goal. Either player can score. Award the scoring team a point. First team to 10 points wins.

  • Sprint at top speed around the cone
  • Battle and win the 50/50 ball
  • Quickly attack the goal once possession is won
  • Continue to fight for the ball when defending
  • Have fun
