Cone Ball:

Two teams stand at opposite ends of the area, each player has a ball, with a line of cones along the middle.

Standing at a distance from the cones (increase/ decrease distance dependant on players' ages) players take it in turns to throw and aim at the cones.

Each cone that a player hits is a point for their team. Once all the cones have been hit the team with the most points is the winner.

shooting/defend shooting

hit the bomb:

Two teams, every player has got aball.
Try to hit the heavy ball /cardboard box/cone in the center and try to get it over the line near the enemy team.
Success means one point.

shooting/defend shooting

Handball Dodgeball:

Two opposing equal sides both start on the baseline of the area with 3 balls on the center line (half as many balls as there are players).

On the coach's call players sprint to try and collect the ball and claim it for their team. Once in possession of the ball players are trying to hit the opposition's cones whilst at the same time protecting their own cones.

The winning team is the first team to hit all of their opponent's cones.

shooting/defend shooting

Castle ball:

The castle (a gymnastics mat or bench) is defended by a goal keeper and his knights (the white team).

The blue attackers try to bomb the castle by throwing the ball at the bench / mat.
