Set up

Make a circle about 12 metres wide. One ball each.

How it works

Everyone dribbles inside. Protect your ball and kick other balls out.

  • Lose your ball, do five toe taps, come back.
  • Kick balls, never people.

Scoring: Count the balls you kick out.

Say this

"Head up""Shield it"

Too easy?

Make the circle smaller.

Too hard?

Make the circle bigger.

Organising it

12 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group. With 20 kids: one group. Runs with one coach.

No sliding, no shirt grabbing.

Missing gear? Fewer balls → share one between two, swap every round.
