Turn and Face

Set up

One 14x10m box per trio, 4 cones, one ball.

How it works

One passes. One receives with a defender behind, turns and dribbles over the far line.

• Defender starts one step behind.
• Swap jobs every go.

Say this

"Look before it comes""First touch away""Turn and go"

Organising it

14 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 4 groups of 3, 2 rotate in every minute. With 20 kids: 6 groups of 3, 2 rotate in every minute. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No cones → bags or bottles mark the two end lines. One ball only → trios take turns, one group at a time.
