Set up
One full goal with a keeper. Cones mark a 35x25m zone.
How it works
One team attacks the goal. The other defends and scores by clearing the ball past the halfway cones.
- Swap attackers and defenders every two minutes.
- Ball out of the zone: keeper restarts.
Say this
"Shoot early""Attack the space"
Too easy?
Add a defender, shrink the zone.
Too hard?
Remove one defender.
Organising it
30 m sided area per group. With 20 kids: 2 groups of 5v5. Runs with one coach.
No shots from closer than two metres.
Missing gear? No full goal → two bags five metres apart, keeper still plays. No bibs → attackers shirts off, defenders shirts on. No cones → bags or the penalty box line mark the zone.
