Set up
Full goal. Two cones make a shooting line twelve metres out.
How it works
Teams take turns hitting the crossbar. Shoot, fetch your ball, rejoin your team.
- Shoot from behind the line.
- Call your hits out loud.
Scoring: Bar three points, post one.
Say this
"Laces through it""Keep it flat"
Too easy?
Shoot a rolling ball.
Too hard?
Move the line to eight metres.
Organising it
27 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group. Runs with one coach.
Wait behind the line.
Missing gear? No crossbar → a rope between two poles, or a chalk line on a wall. No cones → two bags mark the shooting line. Two balls work: the waiting team fetches while the other strikes.
