Set up

Per pair: two cones eight metres apart, one ball.

How it works

One passes firm along the ground. Partner takes a touch, turns, dribbles back.

  • Take your first touch away from the passer.
  • Swap jobs every five turns.

Scoring: Count clean turns in ninety seconds.

Say this

"Big first touch""Open your hips"

Too easy?

Passer chases to win it back.

Too hard?

Roll a soft pass from closer.

Organising it

7 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 cones → drink bottles mark both ends. Too few balls → make trios, all three swap after every turn.
