Set up

No cones. One ball per pair, partners eight steps apart.

How it works

Pairs pass across the crowd. Score by passing the ball through someone's legs.

  • Keep passes on the ground.
  • Keep moving.

Scoring: One point per nutmeg, count aloud.

Say this

"Eyes for legs""Firm pass"

Too easy?

Weak foot only.

Too hard?

Nutmeg your partner only.

Organising it

5 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 7 groups of 2. With 20 kids: 10 groups of 2. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No ball per pair → group in fours, two hunt while two rest.
