Set up

One big cone box with a middle line. Ball each.

How it works

Everyone dribbles in the box. Coach shouts stop, freeze your ball under one foot.

  • Stay inside the box.
  • Freeze until the coach shouts go.

Scoring: One point for every clean stop.

Say this

"Head up""Little touches""Sole on top"

Too easy?

Stop the ball on the middle line.

Too hard?

Count down slowly from three.

Organising it

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

Missing gear? No cones → bags and shoes mark the box corners. Share one ball between two and swap on every stop.
