Set up

Two boxes fifteen metres apart, eight cones in each. Ball each.

How it works

Dribble to the other team's box, grab one cone, carry it home.

  • One cone at a time, ball with you.
  • Lose the ball, drop the cone.

Scoring: Most cones at the whistle wins.

Say this

"Eyes up""Turn quick"

Too easy?

One defender guards each box.

Too hard?

No tackles, just race.

Organising it

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

Watch for kids crossing the middle.

Missing gear? No bibs → shirts on / shirts off. No spare cones → bibs, gloves or bottles as the treasure. Half a ball each → the rest defend their own base.
