Timing and Speed of Action

Pitch: Cones mark the halfway line and the edge of the penalty area; plus two mini goals — one on the penalty area line, one on the halfway line.

Equipment: 2 mini goals, cones and several balls.

Players: The defending players are split into two groups in two colours and positioned next to one mini goal; the attacking players are split into two numbered groups and positioned next to the second mini goal.

• Two attacking players start from midfield with the aim of scoring in the mini goal on the penalty area line.
• On the coach's call, a defender of the colour called out sets off.
• Depending on the age group, the game is played with or without offside.
• If the defender wins the ball, a forward pass can be played straight away into the goal on the halfway line, scoring two points for that group; the attackers get one point for a goal.
• After each run all those involved join the back of their groups again.
• The first to score ten goals wins; the groups then swap between attack and defence.
