3 to4 players on each side. the players on each side have a number. The coach calls a number and that player from each side runs into the middle and picks us a ball. they then need to complete a pass to each of their team mates before dropping the ball on the ground and scoring a goal. If they miss the goal they need to run and get the ball and have another go. The first to score gets a point for his team. A different option would be to get them to dribble the ball bttween the three cones and then turn and score into the far goal which should be about 25 yards away. Goal can be made bigger for this and if they miss or come up short they need to come back and shoot again.
Depending on the group get the team to do a press up if they drop the ball (at the time it is dropped). Get them handpassing off both hands. Make sure that they are handpassing from a distance that challenges the group (position of cone). Hands should always be up ready to take the pass (instead of at their side) Encourage them to kake a full strike.
