Set up

30x20m pitch. Cones mark an end zone at each end.

How it works

Two teams, no goals. Score by dribbling into the far zone and stopping the ball.

  • Stop the ball dead to score.
  • Restart from your own zone.

Scoring: One point per stopped ball.

Say this

"Head up""Run at them"

Too easy?

Narrow the pitch.

Too hard?

Wider end zones.

Organising it

30 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group, 2 play as all-time attackers. With 20 kids: 2 groups of 5v5. Runs with one coach.

Slow down before the end line.

Missing gear? No cones → shirts or bags mark the two end zones. No bibs → shirts on / shirts off.
