Set up

Two 12x10m boxes, a 6m channel between, one ball, defenders in bibs.

How it works

Pass the ball from box to box. Defenders in the channel try to block it.

  • Everyone stays in their own zone.
  • Defender wins it: swap with that passer.

Scoring: One point per pass across.

Say this

"Wait for the gap""Hit it hard"

Too easy?

Add a third defender.

Too hard?

Widen the boxes.

Organising it

21 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 2 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. With 20 kids: 3 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No cones → bags mark the two boxes and the middle. No bibs → the middle players keep their jackets on.
