Gary Key Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

Divide into 2 teams. Play 3 x 1-min rounds: Round 1: Blue players each have 3 balls. They have 1 min to dribble over the first line and shoot as many balls through the goals as possible. They can't dribble over the second white line. Players collect the balls, then its Red players' turn to shoot. Round 2: Add [1-2] Blockers to slow the shooters down. They can only get in the way, but not touch the balls. Round 3: Add [1-2] Stealers. They can tackle shooters and pass their balls to their team-mates on the sideline for 1 pt. Variations: Goals: mini-goals or cone gates. Vary the widths of the cone gates: extra pts for shooting through smallest goals. Vary the goal distances from the white line: extra pts for shooting through furthest goals. Divide the pitch so that the youngest players can play separately. No stealers on that pitch.
