`Goalball` - 2 teams of 5-6 players stand on a line between 2 cones/goalposts 15 yards wide, teams are 20 yards apart. Number off 1-5. Red team #1 hits to try to score. If her shot goes in, she joins the blue team, becomes #6. If she doesn`t score, stay with red. Everyone should get several shots, plus as a bonus, attempts to block the ball too. If we have 32 kids, make 4 games of 4v4 - something like that. Emphasise shooting with a quick swing, not a big backswing.
