Setup - Arrange cones as shown and divide group into two teams.
The Game - Player 1 starts by dribbling to cone and has to shoot before he gets to the next cone.
If player 2 saves the ball, he keeps ball and runs to the end of the line on his team. If player 1's shot is wide, player 2 gets the ball and goes to the end of the line for his team
After Player 1 shoots, he becomes the goalie.
It is now player 3's turn to dribble and shoot. After he shoots, he or she then becomes the goalie and player 1 goes to the end of the line on his team
First team to 15 wins.
eventually the players on the shooting team need to shoot before the goalie gets set up. And the players that just shot realize they need to hustle to play goalie.
