8x2 area for Nuggets (yellow cones), team cones placed at equal distance from nuggets. Players split between teams.
Players are aiming to hit the cones with the football. When they do, they run to pick up all of the cones at their ball hit, and the team ball and return them to the marker before next person in line is ready to go.
Game finishes when all nuggets are gone and team with the most is the winning team.
Progression 1
Now only the very first cone that the players hit can be brought back to their team.
Progression 2
Differ the movement of the ball; throwing, bouncing, kicking.
Progression 3
Introduce obstacles or other cones.
Bibs can work as slime/lava where the ball can get stuck.
Other style cones can work as extra points. Eg. Big black cone is worth 3 points, first team to hit it gets 3 points
Challenges
Can they hit further away cones?
Can they aviod the other obstacles?
Basic passing technique can be introduced.
-Placing standing foot, toes pointing at target.
-Using side foot for accuracy.
-following through for power.
Consider who, what, when, where, why and how when progressing through the technical building blocks.
