Set up
One 40x25m pitch, two small goals, cones marking three equal thirds.
How it works
A normal game to small goals across three marked thirds.
- Keep one team-mate in every third.
- Restart from your own third after a goal.
Scoring: Two points if the ball went through the middle.
Say this
"Stretch the pitch""Find the middle""Look first"
Too easy?
Two players stay in each third.
Too hard?
Only the middle third needs a player.
Organising it
39 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: one group. With 20 kids: 2 groups of 5v5. Runs with one coach.
Missing gear? No cones → bags or existing pitch lines mark the thirds. No bibs → shirts on / shirts off. No goals → cone gates three metres wide at each end.
