Water Under the Bridge (10 mins)

Field set up as shown above - keep groups small - set up distances as needed for ages and abilities

First player dribbles through initial three (orange) cones (can adjust to make one orange cone and use an attacking move to get around)

Once ball is scored, second player in group repeats the exercise.
