Set up
20x20m square with a halfway line. Half the balls each side.
How it works
Two teams kick balls into the other half. On the whistle, stop and count.
- Stay inside your own half.
- Kick, never throw.
Scoring: Fewest balls in your half wins.
Say this
"Look for loose balls""Clear it quick"
Too easy?
Weak foot only.
Too hard?
Let them carry balls to the line.
Organising it
20 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group. With 20 kids: one group. Runs with one coach.
Keep every kick low.
Missing gear? No cones → use a pitch line or bags as the halfway line. Fewer balls → play with what you have, the count still works.
