Dog and Bone
13 kids, 12 balls in the middle - 1 kid will come back empty-handed. Spacing of the balls important- Barrier in the middle, so they don’t run into eachother. Of course, you can adapt this game to thenumber of players you have. Put one less ball in the middle. The players will use their newly acquired skill to pass the obstacles of hockey sticks/ a piece of rope, once they have by passed they can dribble the ball and shoot at goal.
Goalie:
Move in diamond shape and deflect the balls. Practice kicking techniques, keeping the ball low and clearing to the sides.
