Set up

25x18m pitch with a cone end zone at each end.

How it works

Teams throw and catch toward the end zone. When the coach shouts feet, play on the ground.

  • Catch it in the end zone to score.
  • Hold the ball three seconds max.

Say this

"Spread out""Move after passing"

Too easy?

Feet only from the start.

Too hard?

Five seconds on the ball.

Organising it

26 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.

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