Aim of the game
The aim of the game is to sneak up on the pirate and steal his "treasure". (size 2 or 3 footballs) one player or the coach is picked to be the Pirate and has to lie down and pretend to be sleeping in front of a goal with an appropriate number of footballs for however many participants there are. the players then must sneak up on the Pirate as they are sleeping and try to take a football then dribble it back to the players goal and put the football in there.
Rules.
If the Pirate wakes up everyone must freeze where they are.
If the Pirate sees anyone moving and calls them out , that person must go back to the start,
If the Pirate sees anyone with a ball moving and calls them out, they must go back to the start and their ball gets returned to the Pirate

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.
