Activity

Organization: Set up an area 25 x25 yards with three cones at one end with a ball on top. Mark out a 5 yard shooting line in front of the cones. At the other end you need two cones a yard in at either end.

Instructions: Split your players into two equal teams of 6 players. One team stands by the gate ready to try to knock balls off the cones, and one team is made up of chasers. They do battle in a series of 1v1s. The chaser dribbles to the gate and stops the ball with the sole of his foot – this is the trigger for an attacker to pick up the ball and run with it to knock a cone off. The chaser, who carries on his run around the turning cone, then tries to get back to defend. Attackers can only shoot in the shooting zone. Adjust the position of the 2nd cone by moving it closer so the chaser reaches the attacker quicker.
