Sticks, shinpads and gumshields needed. Traditional hockey game with a scoring gate rather than a goal. Goals are scored by dribbling the ball through the game of cones. Progressions/Constraints to Consider: Smaller/ larger scoring area Replace hockey ball with a tennis ball Change the shape of the pitch and/or scoring area Add in 'joker players' who are always attacking and/or defending Pyramid scoring system (1st goal = 1 point, second goal = 2 points, 3rd goal = 3 points etc etc) Adding in a bonus goal for specific acts (eg: forehand passes)
Emphasis on movement off the ball and moving the ball on quickly. Actively discourage players standing 'in goal', pretending to be goal keepers. They are outfield players and not Goalkeepers
