Split players evenly. Have players line up in their team at the blue cone. The coach will collect all of the balls and position themselves along one side of the drill. The coach will call out a number of players that will be included in the drill (1, 2, 3 or 4). Once the number has been called, that number of players will go around the yellow cone in front of them and attack the goal that they are then facing.
If calling out more than one player, ensure they pass before shooting.
Remind players how to pass and how to dribble.
Make it fast paced.
Have fun, all kids love this game.
