4.Multiple balls with each group

Instructions:

1.Players work in groups of three with an attacker on either side of the goal and one player in the goal acting as a goalkeeper

2.The objective is to score as many goals as possible as attackers alternate turns to shoot

3.The attacker starts the game by dribbling and shooting before they reach the second cone

4.If the goal keeper saves the shot or the shot misses the goal the player who misses becomes the goalkeeper

5.After a set time limit the players total up their individual score

6.The player with the highest score moves up a field. The second place stays where they are and the third place player moves down one field and the game is repeated against new opposition
