Knock 'Em Down

Set up

Two lines of cones. Each team stands eight steps back.

How it works

Teams race to knock down their own cones. Fetch and shoot again.

• Shoot from behind your line.
• Fetch your own ball.

Scoring: First team with all cones down wins.

Say this

"Laces through it""Low and hard"

Organising it

14 m sided area per group. With 20 kids: 2 groups of 5v5. Runs with one coach.

Both teams shoot the same way.

Missing gear? No cones → stand water bottles or shoes up in two lines. No ball each → share one between two, swap after each strike.
