Split the group into two teams. Pitch size 20m x 40m for two teams of 5 - 8. The idea of the game is to kick the ball over the centre line and try to land the ball in the oppositions area. If the ball is caught then no points are scored, if the ball bounces in the oppositions area then 1 point is scored to the kicking team. If the ball is kicked out of bounds, the catching team will be awarded 2 points. Kickers must change for every kick.
